Sometimes referred to as the first Swedish metal band (and what a tremendous number would follow in their wake). Original line-up featured future Thin Lizzy/Pink Floyd guitarist Snowy White. Some heavy and psychedelic moments, with a sometimes melancholic vibe.

Obscure heavy psych who transitioned, Napalm Death-style, from one band line-up into a very different one across the two sides of their debut LP. Another golden nugget for psych completist record hunters - their reputation was sustained by bootlegs of this small press album across the decades.

![Chomsky’s estate attorney at one point suggested sending a pointed email to a financial adviser over discrepancies surrounding a $187,000 payment. The attorney had a draft ready to go. But Chomsky – one of the world’s brightest intellectuals – made sure to get Epstein’s thoughts on whether it was a good idea for her to send the missive.
“You should OK her sending but admonish [her] for being unwilling to ask tough questions,” Epstein wrote, in part. “NONSENSE.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:46jdgs6buazhenot7wnzjbx6/bafkreiemnhim5wlwp3mwrnr5z3lyd3turbqssyc465atcegjwedylx7zae@jpeg)
