Pinnacle - Assasin (UK - Heavy Prog - 1974)



Actually, more of a prog rock album with some hard rock leanings. The keyboards (Farfisa organ and moog) pretty much carry this one. The vocals are a bit on the weak side, but musically it’s fairly strong for a low-budget prog album. Would have definitely been better had they had a Hammond (and better production), it would have set these songs to “kill,” not merely “stun.” Skip’em and stick with the main album tracks.
These guys where certainly onto a fairly early metal sound somewhat similar to early Judas Priest and Deep Purple, although I'm pretty sure this bands real biggest influence was the mighty Hawkwind.
