Night Sun
The early 70's was an interesting time for heavy metal -- sure,
Black Sabbath
was defining the genre and bands such as
Deep Purple
and
Led Zeppelin
were also laying the foundation for decades to come,
but there were several fringe bands jumping into the action, and one
of them was Night Sun.
Their sole album,
Mournin', was released in 1972, the same year as
the debut from
Scorpions,
so that puts this band on a short list among Germany's earliest metal
bands.
Mournin' is quite a trip actually, with a jazzy progressive edge
and keyboards that give the band a clear
Deep Purple
vibe.
For whatever reason the band couldn't keep it together and were done
a mere year after the album's release, which is unfortunate, as
Mournin' showed great potential.
