American proto-metal you gotta hear!!
T. Hardin | seaside,oregon | 11/17/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"If you are reading this,I'm presuming you know that this was essentially a shoot-off of Pentagram,lead by late musician/author (loved his book on H.G.Lewis)Randy Palmer.This is indeed proto-metal,for its time almost as heavy(and definitely as dark!) as Sabbath.Really,their are a lot of raw riffs here for you disciples of the heavy!

Why only 3 stars? A lot of this is really,really rough sounding - not enough to pass up,but it should be mentioned just the same.One last comment: this is easily heavier than what Pentagram was doing during this time period(if not ever!)"
Incredibly dark doom music you should own
Classic Heavy Rock / Early Metal Af | 08/05/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bedemon's "Child of Darkness" is nihilistic doom at it's finest. It's even darker than Pentagram's "First Daze Here" collection. If you like Pentagram, you will love Bedemon (Bedemon was an offshoot of Pentagram). The darkness of the album is shocking considering it was composed at a time when Nixon was still in the White House and Woodstock was just four years in the past. The quality is a bit rough as the tracks weren't recorded in a studio but the roughness if anything adds to the ambiance of "Child of Darkness," rather than detracts from it. Most of the songs, such as "Child of Darkness," "Enslaver of Humanity," Frozen Fear,"One-Way Road," "Serpent Venom," "Into the Grave," "Nightime Killers," are incredibly loud. Others, like "Skinned" and "Through the Gates of Hell," are quieter but still very dark (both songs have very gloomy and nihilistic lyrics. Thorough liner lyrics provide lyrics and band members' views of each song. There are some Sabbath "yeah" screams too! Buy this album."
This is the Original Doom Metal band!
Christopher B. Jordan | Atlanta, GA USA | 01/27/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Get this now! These recordings prove their were bands as heavy as Sabbath in early 70's and that they could be even darker! The riffs on this album even give the mighty Tony Iommi a run for his money. The only drawback is the sound quality, but for recordings nearing the 40 year mark that were recorded in studio spaces, the sound quality amazingly holds up. If you like Sabbath or Bedemon's sister band Pentagram get this now. A missing link between Sabbath and the Doom Metal sub-genre."
