Downer-Rock Genocide
A 16 Track compilation of rare gems and previously unreleased material from the early origins of rock and released on the highly collectable and sought after Audio Archives label. Some seriously powerful and heavy acts fill this album including Iron Maiden, Slowbone, Monument, Hackensack, Writing on the Wall etc. Clear Blue Sky blast through the hi-fi with two tracks, which were part of the earliest recordings made by the band at the age of just sixteen!
Pete Sarfass, A&R from Audio Archives label says:
“This is the ultimate & definitive anthology of ultra-heavy early downer-rock, excavated from the depths of the UK Underground scene & presented with the most Armageddon-style downer-art ever seen. What is downer-rock? Well, its later genres are better known – grunge, heavy metal, thrash- but downer-rock stands out as the earliest incarnation of hard guitar in minor keys, the forerunner of these later modes.”

The Moon - Orion Project
