Black Widow stands in the same psychedlic, satanic realm as Coven and other early bands bent on pushing the envelope with their blatant occult and satanic influences. Black Widow hold a bit more of a progressive tinge than Coven, however. Lots of organ use and even some flute within the mix. I definitely enjoy the use of the saxaphone use in "In Ancient Days." Gives the that certain Coltrane cool to Satan.This album is from 1970, four years after the bands formation in '66. Some great stuff if you're a fan of early progressive rock and psychedelic type bands.
Tracklist:
01. In Ancient Days
02. Way to Power
03. Come to the Sabbat
04. Conjuration
05. Seduction
06. Attack of the Demon
07. Sacrifice

I need to give it another listen. Was expecting something louder (Allmusic actually calls it "heavy metal"), so I didn't really let it set in.
Thanks for the post!
