There's no way to know why CBS Records unceremoniously dumped Rotomagus and the Chico Magnetic Band after one single apiece, suffice to say That decision was a poor one, as Both bands have (quite Rightly) developed a cult-like Following over the years. All in all, the artistic trajectory of Rotomagus was unique: they started out as a pop-psych harmony band, shifted through a Jimi Hendrix-ian brief interlude ('The Sky Turns Red'), Vanilla Fudge straight into a groove; They then went down in flames as a hair-raising monolithic heavy rock power trio. On Julian Cope's Head Heritage excellent web-site, the Seth Man raves Rotomagus acerca Malthus: "The first time I heard this track ('Fighting Cock'), I did not freak out. Merely I walked into a nearby closet and screamed my head off for a solid minute, beat the floor and ripped my t-shirt ... then I cowered when it hit me: this thing came out in 1971? Before "Raw Power"?! I just lost my mind ... The only thing That predates this monster in terms of being a full-on amassing of all things heavy are all the many key points on Sir Lord Baltimore's "Kingdom Come" LP and THAT'S it, brother. "French magazine Rock & Folk was succinct: "Rotomagus create an emotional music, violent, aggressive even." Violent. Aggressive. Intense. On this disc we bring you entertained by the output of Rotomagus, treats including an album-length demo from 1971, the band's tumultuous, thunderous swansong, recorded as a super jam (live with no overdubs). Our Lion Productions and Martyrs of Pop edition of Rotomagus comes in a heavy duty gatefold jacket, que has the entirety of the Seth Man's article on the band, plus the band's history in Both Inglés and French. Hard to believe this is all pre-1971, as much of the demo is not just proto proto punk but fiery hardcore-with enough attitude to make you want to scream along. The vocals are wild, while the guitar riffs and grinds and Approaches to Stooges via Motorhead apocalyptic grandeur. Amazing!
