The Story
FEATURES
- Limited edition of 500
- 1xLP pressed on Black Vinyl
- Originally released in 1971
- This sole release by Salamander stands as a quintessential prog opera
DESCRIPTION
The biblical ten commandments are surely the main inspiration behind this concept album originally released on the British independent label Young Blood in 1971. The one and only release by Salamander, a short-lived UK four-piece, the album is a quintessential prog opera with a heavy effort on Hammond organ and lush orchestral arrangements. Comprised of Alister Benson (Organ, Vocals), Dave Chriss (Bass), John Cook (Drums), and Dave Titley (Lead Vocals, Guitar) the band was often compared to The Moody Blues and Deep Purple Mark I. Even if the 10 tracks are inspired by the holy script, the band was not proven to be Christian rock itself. The album is a sublime pompous pop affair, with a good dose of fuzz guitars and brass section.
