A cult hard rock rarity, Jerusalem may not be worth the three-digits it demands, but it's still a very cool release worth investigation. The awesomely chilling cover fits the album perfectly; it's cold, clammy, and harrowing, with deliciously unhinged vocals adding the the evil vibe. Venomous tracks like "Hooded Eagle," the psychotic confessional "Murderer’s Lament," driving "When the Wolf Sits," and appropriately bludgeoning "Primitive Man," are creaky and rotten to the core. Jerusalem is also very amateurish sounding, something that adds to it's charm while banishing these guys to the second tier, and robbing the album of some heaviness. Gillian's "production" job is distant and raw, doing no favors to the band's somewhat shambling, garagey musicianship. CD adds the brilliantly titled B-side, "Kamikazi Moth" - keep an eye out for a Rockadrome reissue in the near future that promises better sound and bonuses.
