The
decision to include a
13 minute spoken word
rendition of a
"Satanic Mass"
(blatantly play- acted
and cobbled together
from diverse sources,
including Anton
LaVey's own tedious
brand of
commercialised
Hollywood Satanism and
Dennis Wheatley
novels) perhaps
overshadows any other
aspect of Coven's
debut album. The fact
is that whilst its
inclusion was
controversial enough
at the time to get
some temporary
publicity for the
band, the album's
reputation has
suffered in retrospect
for the inclusion of
13 minutes of
embarrassing and often
tedious Satanic ritual
which goes absolutely
nowhere.
It's a crying shame,
because if you
actually ignore the
last track there's
some solid psychedelic
rock with progressive
moments on this album.
Thematically more
reminiscent of Dennis
Wheatley and Hammer
Horror movies than
anything more
sinister, the tame
Satanism offered here
would look wimpy next
to even the (still
quite cartoonish)
antics of Venom or
Mercyful Fate in the
1980s, let alone the
extremes the black
metal scene would
reach in the 1990s,
but it does offer a
precedent for acts
such as Blood
Ceremony, Uncle Acid
and even Electric
Wizard, with Blood
Ceremony in particular
coming close to the
Coven sound in their
more psychedelic
moments. But at the
same time, we can't
pretend that the band
didn't offer up an
album with an
unforgivably high
proportion of filler
in the form of the
Mass. Three stars
seems fair.
