Dwarr
Dwarr is one of those historical oddities,
the band equivalent of a blistered old man wandering aimlessly along
a desert road.
This is the work of one Duane Warr, who recorded two bizarre albums and
then,
as the story goes, found religion, disavowing his past works
(destroying old tapes, that sort of thing), with two more later
albums apparently not remotely metallic in any respect.
Who knows what really was (or is, for that matter) going on in the mind
of this man.
Anyway, the most metallic of the four albums
is apparently the second effort,
Animals,
and that's the one reviewed here.
This is seriously messed-up, psychedelic trippy gloomy doom music,
sometimes with a clear metal vibe and other times more along the lines
of 60's acid rock, a strange sound for 1986 indeed.
This is far from a developed work, with a tinny guitar sound and generally
primitive production values, yet it's strangely compelling and, well,
bizarre.
Again, this is only occasionally metal in the normal sense, but it's
clearly got the doom atmosphere of old Sabbath going for it, if not the
outright heaviness.
Finding original copies of this stuff is no doubt completely
impossible these days, but tracking down the tunes is well worth it,
purely for a what-the-hell point of view.
