Trubrot - Undir Ahrifum & Lifun 1970/1971 - DR 13





2 original recordings on 1 CD: - Undir Ahrifun (1970) - Lifun (1971) Re-issue 2003, Certainly one of the greatest bands to emerge from the frozen plains of Iceland, trubrot evolved from the second greatest band to emerge from Iceland, Hljómar aka The Icelandic Beatles aka Thor's Hammer (who appeared on Diggin' For Gold & Nuggets II). Featuring the same line-up as Thor's Hammer but with a different musical direction; the group shifted its focus from their fuzz-laden Dutch beat like sound to a harder edged heavy progressive rock vibe. Music from the land where the sun rarely sets and when it does it stays down... intense! This is great music for any fan of 1970s progressive rock and should appeal to fans of King Crimson or Focus who are searching for something with big, cold, teeth.
