Released in 1973, this true underground gem is quite an awesome find. Metal was just sprouting back then, and its definitive forces were Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Sir Lord Baltimore, and the list can go on. Numerous band that tried copying these band's sound appeared and disappeared almost every day, and Buffalo from Australia were one of those bands- but they took the new sound a whole new direction: They created stoner rock.
Sleep seems like a new heavy reincarnation of the band, with tracks like Freedom and The Prophet being the best examples. Their riffs are very drug fueled, semi-progressive and have a very distorted sound, a thing that won't be heard until Soundgarden's debut EP- which shows how much this band was way ahead of its time. The rest of the songs also play a major part in the album, with the most notable Sunrise and Shylock that can be called as forerunners to Motorhead, and 'Til My Death showing some very fast drumming and very unorthodox solos compared to other heavy metal bands of 1973.
The songs themselves aren't too dragging, compared to other stoner rock bands. They have a lot of catchy riffs, interesting vocals that sound like a more rough James Hetfield and an overall stoned attitude, which could be accepted among hippies and Blue Cheer fans alike- a thing that wasn't very common and still seems uncommon today. Even the lyrics are weed-infested- they aren't necessarily about doing drugs (like some of the modern stoner bands), but sound like they came out of a stoner's mouth:
"Your senses are returning,
you'll soon be on your way
the old bridges burning,
it's your new life's first day" (Freedom)
If you haven't listened to this yet and you call yourself a fan of stoner rock/metal, or just a fan of heavy metal, listen to it immediately. Very Recommended. (raspberrysoda/metal-archives.com)
