Album Description
Originally released on London Records in 1974, this is heavy progressive american rock at it's best, strongly influenced by English prog of the same period. Paper gatefold sleeve packaging.
Customer Reviews:
Somewhat like Humble Pie with a progressive twist-- 3.5 stars.......2006-05-01
I remember this l.p. from 1974 on underground fm radio. In those days my friends and I thought they sounded a bit like Humble Pie, with a dash of Trapeze and early Uriah Heep. There is real talent here although the sound is somewhat dated featuring heavy guitars combined with mellotrons, piercing vocals, and mystical lyrics.
On the other hand, it was, after all, released in 1974 and it is really pretty good. For fans of early seventies hard rock with a slightly progressive twist this album will have definite appeal; but the reason I bought it on c.d. was mostly of nostalgic curiousity. Interestingly, the original l.p. was on Mach Records distributed by London, and the l.p. was recorded in Memphis for Hi Recording Corp! Yes, that's Al Green and Willie Mitchell's ground zero.
As a Memphian, I wish I knew a little more about Leviathan. At that particular time in the city we were really into the Who, Big Star, the Stones, and Bowie (all still favorites). Stax and Hi were still churning out soul classics but business problems would soon overtake them.
