If Mountain could be considered an extension of Cream's psychedelic power-trio approach into the 70's, then Philadelphia, PA's Bang were basically a low-rent, three-pronged, sleaze-take on Black Sabbath and Grand Funk Railroad, with their debut being the most impactful of the three original albums they released. Impactful is not synonymous with enjoyable, however, as presentation and overall atmosphere make for a hazy, depressing listen at best.
