2666341, That Coven-album is cult but...

...not too great IMO even if I have friends who swear by it. It's a bit similar to Black Widow in that it's a satanic band who's music is actually pretty bland and standard for the time. It's funny but understandable that Black Sabbath-who of course wasn't satanist but got the inverted cross placed in their gatefold without their knowledge or co-sign-attracted the most coverage because their music must have hit like a ton of bricks then; the real satanists meanwhile sounded more like fairies, LOL!

The supposedly real ritual-song on the albums is amusing though... Anyway, I don't think it's BAD but the whole story behind it-and the cover-makes it one of those records that's more fun to own than to listen to IMO...
