Bedemon - Child of Darkness

Bedemon existed from '73 to '79 (The metal archives claims they are still active, but the lineup isn't really Bedemon) and played the same down and dirty flavor of doom that Pentagram does. Mostly because of the shared members and the fact that Randy Palmer, the main songwriter for Bedemon, also joined Pentagram as a guitarist for about a year. Bobby also does the vocals for the band. So, it is basically Pentagram Jr. But honestly, can you ever get enough of Pentagram?

While this album isn't the best of quality (it is from the original master tapes), it's got some great riffs on it and any fan of Pentagram will enjoy it. Heavy, dirty and fuzzy. Isn't that how everyone likes it?
