1663 - Buffalo Till My Death 1973

Volcanic Rock is the second studio album by Australian proto-heavy metal band Buffalo, recorded and originally released in 1973 on the Vertigo label. The album was stylistically a much harder, heavier and rawer release than its predecessor (Dead Forever...) – marking a move away from the band's previous progressive rock influences, although retaining a psychedelic element to their sound. The band's line up back then consisted of Dave Tice on vocals, Peter Wells on bass, John Baxter on guitar and Jimmy Economou on the drums. Mid-tempos like ‘Till My Death’ tone things down a notch with solid blues-rock fundamentals rooted in the rhythm section of bassist Pete Wells (later of Rose Tattoo) and drummer Jimmy Economu, and the voice of Tice, foreshadowing Chris Cornell flavour.
