“Absolute monster when talking about US hard-rock private pressings. Hailing from Florida, Bolder Damn released this beast in 1971. Ultra-heavy, “raw-in-your-face” sound with devastating fuzzed-out guitar, solid rhythm section and manic vocals.
First discovered and reissued by the legendary Rockadelic label in 1990, the album has gained a cult status among new fans of 70s proto-doom & hard-rock sounds since then. Bolder Damn formed in 1969 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Initially performing covers, they gradually incorporated original material into their sets. Their energetic live performances led them to open for notable acts such as Alice Cooper, MC5, The Amboy Dukes, and Blue Cheer.
In 1971, they recorded their sole album, ‘Mourning’, at Hyperbolic Studios in Florida. The recording session lasted only four hours, resulting in a raw, in-your-face heavy sound. The album was privately pressed with approximately 200 copies distributed mainly to friends, family, and local fans. Side 2 featured the 16-minute epic "Dead Meat," which reflects the band's heavy, proto-doom style, reminiscent of contemporaries like Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer.
In 1972 band members John Anderson and Ron Refett were drafted into military service during the Vietnam War, leading to Bolder Damn's dissolution.
Highly recommended if you like Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Pentagram, MC5, Sainte.”
