I put together a dozen slices (literally) of early/proto-metal albums for you to guess. Dates range from 1968 to 1974. Have at it.

Wow. This one is really out of my area. Not one of those look familiar. #3 reminds me of Uncle Fester!

007...I should make a Spotify playlist or something when this is done then because these bands made some fantastic tunes that were heavier than pretty much everything else of their era. I think I'll add some YouTube links as they are guessed. Stuff like this...these guys never cut an album but they rocked pretty hard for 1971.

Featuring the future Ramone, Marky. This song is so great.

Yea, I picked up their re-issue a few years ago. It's a bit of a stretch to call them proto-metal, but it's a decent album nonetheless.

The only reason I recognized the Leaf Hound album is because Amazon would constantly recommend that to me based on my other purchases. Maybe I need to give them a listen? Smile

Oooh, Synthfreek, you've outdone yourself on this one. That "vertical slice" format is just....evil! Laughing very hard

The few from this batch that I recognize (Dust and Budgie) have already been mentioned... tho I also know that Atomic Rooster artwork (from a painting by William Blake, if memory serves) because it's also the back-tray pic in Bruce Dickinson's Chemical Wedding CD.

#7 looks vaguely familiar, but I can't seem to place it.

Yeah it is Blake. His style was so cool. I've always really loved the painting "God as an Architect," which is a depiction of Urizen (who's referenced in the Chemical Wedding). It's like it's begging to be a metal album cover.

More an influence on metal lyrics than musical content.

I believe 2, 5 and 11 remain unaccounted for.

Ooh ooh! Waitaminnit, I think I got #11! Isn't that "Coven" (the female fronted 70s band, not the 80s thrash band)? I think the album title is "Witchcraft" something or other.

2 is Blue Cheer - Outsideinside.

And 5 is stumping me. It looks sort of like Yes' Relayer, but that's the wrong genre and the logo seems to be more prominent on this one than on Relayer.
