Pagan Altar - Mythical & Magical CD. Their latest brand new 2006 release, already hailed as a classic in underground doom metal and NWOBHM circles! Certainly among the most unique and diverse bands to come from the early 80s UK heavy metal scene. Alan Jones delivers a ton of seering lead guitar here and while it's surely metallic, it also retains the essence of the best of the early 70s heavy prog rock styles, and is the highlight of this disc for me. And while this apparently appeals to doom metal heads, it should surely be heard by not only NWOBHM freaks but anyone into 70s heavy prog rock as well.
