Today I bring a homemade compilation of 3 extremely rare LPs and 1 EP of metal and prog from the early 70s, all very medieval, Pentagram on a private press called "Stone Bunny - Nothing Left" stone rabbit or smoker as they were originally called due to one of its members, first recordings of the band in the year '70 come on and some alternative takes of the songs that we already know from the staff. Proud Flesh, proud German meat from 1972, pure metal from the kraut side, the same as Scorpions with deep purple influences. Aardvark, a British rock band halfway between prog and psych with quite dark and acid nuances, I would say that somewhat dark symphonic psychedelic rock without becoming heavy psych, released their debut in 1970 with Deram. And finally an American private press "Ash Hollow" halfway between prog, hard rock and southern rock with a largely medieval theme and a Lord of the Rings cover, we are facing another of those Tolkien-themed bands, we can clearly see reference how they have used the tree of Gondor for their cover. Thanks to Heavy Metal Rarities for most of the sound material. Some are vinyl ripped.
