FIRST

Dies Irae was a 70`s progressive/psychedelic Hard Rock Band from Germany. Their sound is quite similiar to Black Sabbath at some times (especially Track 1. Lucifer, 3.Another Room). This similiarity has it reasons in the quite dark and slightly satanistic(?) song texts dealing with topics like armageddon and so on... But this is not everything... There is another thing which makes me really like this album: It has really interesting harmonica work (even a harmonica solo) on it and sometimes it even edges the psychedelic sound of their landmates ASH RA TEMPEL in " Tired" and the obviously drug glorifying Song "Red Libanese" If you like either the 70´s hard rock with dark influence or the atmospheric sound of Ash Ra Temple or even a Fusion of both i really recommend this album. A weak point maybe are the english vocals (like it was for many german bands of that time)
