TITUS GROAN

Most of the songs I find pretty average nineteen seventy British blues influenced hard rock fare, however, one song is good.

In The Hall Of Bright Mountain Carvings is a nice song about the book series by Mervyne Peake, Gormenghast. A classic trilogy of books he released in his life and a novella form his contribution to the franchise. Unfortunately, due to mental illness he was unable to complete the envisioned series which would have spanned the titular characters life. Instead, the series was given a weird and deeply personal closing novel by the mans wife who cared for her partner as he lost his mind. Anyways yeah, Titus Groan (band) only released one album and I think choosing to be named after another artist who also never finished their life work is a very poetic beauty. This song has great vocals and woodwind soloes, a real classic track about something really cool.

The only other song I like is Lady Fuschia (A character from Titus Groan)

Anyways, yeah this is a solid debut by a band that never made anything else. Which is a shame the woodwind selection gives the album a really nice character that has gone unused in Progressive Rock since, making the release a fun listen for everyone.
