Sure this was reissued back is 2005 but for any lover of heavy rock, this is an essential listen. Personally my favourite of the five Buffalo releases, the 1970 Volcanic Rock established the band for dispensing uncompromising heavy psych rock of monumental proportions. It is essentially the first stoner rock album ever issued in Australia. The nine minute ‘Freedom’ is the cornerstone. With its slow tempo hypnotic bass riffage and Dave Tice’s demanding voice on top, it is the ultimate heavy rock jam. ‘Til My Death’ has a Pete Well’s riff that is under the skin before you know it. ‘Shylock’ echoes Black Sabbath with its mighty riff that drives it along for six minutes.
Love heavy rock, love Buffalo.
