MP3: Moses - Warning
Moses was a three-piece heavy rock from Denmark way back in the glory days of the late 60s/early 70s. I know I post a lot of similar stuff from new bands aping this style, so it's nice to get a slice of the real deal every once in awhile. And now, since Moses' sole (I believe) album "Changes" was recently reissued by , I have even more of an excuse to do so. No big surprises to be had musically speaking, these dudes are your typical fuzzed-out blues jammers, leaning a bit more towards Blue Cheer or Cream than Black Sabbath or Led Zep. I don't say "typical" to put them down though, I only say that so you don't go in expecting to be blown away by some was-lost face-melter. Naah, it's just a solid album that deserves better than being lost to history and, as someone who buys a heckuva lot of reissues, I can appreciate that. Play loud!

As for the future, the band has cancelled their show with Moloken on May 21 and will instead debut the new lineup on May 28-29, in Göteborg and Malmö respectively, their very first Swedish dates.
