Warpig
Warpig is a lost gem, the 1970 self-titled album from an
obscure band from Ontario, Canada.
Like many of these prehistoric early-seventies bands that are
often mentioned as originators (or, at least, ancestors) of
metal,
Warpig doesn't have much in common with today's metal, as
Black Sabbath
was just getting started, and these guys weren't that heavy at all.
On the other hand,
there are some similarities to bands such as early
Deep Purple
or perhaps
Budgie,
along with a dash of very early
Blue Oyster Cult
(check out "Rock Star" for an example), making for a pretty nice
little album.
The band broke up during the recording of their second album in 1973,
but around 2005 the original foursome got back together, and amazingly,
the followup album,
That Pillar Of Fire, was released in 2007, only
37 years after the debut, which must be a record for the longest
stretch between album releases for a band.
