Sir Lord Baltimore - Sir Lord Baltimore (1971)

Hard Rock fans, if you want to know who were the real pioneers of 60´s - 70´s Hard Rock and Heavy Metal you must listen this album. Sir Lord Baltimore is, surely, the most underated band of Hard Rock history. They are much, much better musicians, composers and innovators artist than Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or Deep Purple. Songs like "Chicago Lives" are the Holly Grial of future Heavy Metal. This song will remind you at a bunch of 80´s and 90´s heavy Metal bands. Perhaps Zeppelin or Black Sabbath give the sound at the early 70´s Hard Rock, but Sir Lord Baltimore went far beyond, they gave the sound at Heavy Metal of the future. Their influence in Heavy metal history is clear and awesome. "Sir Lord Baltimore" is a really Masterwork: fresh, innovator, wild, fierce, four musicians with ideas far ahead of their own time. A must have album !!!!!.

Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come (1970)


Oh sure we all know the Black Sabbath are the kings of metal but it's usually just sludge fest after sludge fest with them....no real hyper-tension. Wait till you hear these guys! Sir Lord Baltimore was one of the heaviest of all early metal bands. Don't get me wrong...it doesn't completely sound like the latter day metal of Iron Maiden or Judas Priest but this is definitely hard hitting stuff for 1970-1971...Sir Lord Baltimore was ahead of the times!!!!
