Various Artists - Warfaring Strangers Darkscorch Canticles CD. With Warfaring Strangers: Darkscorch Canticles, the impacts of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath on US shores and heartlands is revealed as a bludgeoning previously undescribed. In this collection, medieval Bonham thunk and febrile Iommi guitar leads crowd out the bluesy Americana that foregrounded those bands, replacing hippie pastoralism with mythology, armored conflict, sorcery, and doom. From legions of occult-obsessive 1970s bonehead teens, we summoned a horde of 16 bands, cloaked in eons of tortured obscurity, whose sole release amounts to a blistering chapter ripped free of rock's lumbering mythos. Non-hipster Translation: A compilation of underground 70s hard rock bands influenced by bands like Sabbath and Zeppelin that never went anywhere. Some of the bands included are Medusa, Arrogance, Stonehenge, Hellstorm, Wizzard, Dark Star, Wrath, Tritton Warrior, Stoned Mace and more.
