Forgotten pearl No. 13

AUNT MARY - Same

One of the early and by many considered to be one of Norways definitely best prog bands. Their music is a mix of heavy hard-rocking tunes, combined with clear influences from the symphonic genre. The more symphonic sound however didn't appeared until their third, and last studio album, "Janus". A great concept-album to start with. If you want the more thundering sounds coming from AUNT MARY, look for 1972s "Loaded", but this is their first baby and the one I like most (I am sure not many of you will agree). High-skilled musicians combined with good, creative melodies makes AUNT MARY a important Norwegian band to become acquainted with.
