Description
Here's the IMPOSSIBLE to find first DWARR LP! Entitled "Starting Over" and released in South Carolina in 1984, very few copies made it out of the state. This is a rare metal collector's wet dream! This is a VG+ copy (cover also VG+) from the one and only private pressing on "Brand X" records. Features the songs: Starting Over, Screams of Terror, Reach for the Fire, Christmas Shopping, Cannabinol: the Elation, Job's Revenge, Lonely Ecstasy, Candlelight, March of the Insects, I've Been Thinking.
ULTRA DARK/SATANIC HEAVY PSYCH/ROCK FROM DWAYNE WARR (DWARR).. HIS SERIOUSLY BENT AND ALCOHOL FUELED ALTER EGO. HEAVY PSYCH IN A QUASI LOW FI PRODUCTION (THUS ENHANCING THE MENACING MOOD)
Duane Warr recorded two albums in the early 80's in South Carolina before going totally over the edge in an Alcohol and drug induced frenzy whilst recording his third (unreleased) album. He "found God" and, according to one source, burned all the remaining Dwarr albums, master tapes, artwork, etc. This is the first of his two albums and finding a proper description is tough. This is not as over-the-top psychedelic doom-metal-insanity as his second album "Animals", but it is still dark, brooding, and totally whacked out. Duane Warr plays all of the instruments on this album which kind of gives the whole thing a slightly off-kilter feel which enhances the madness. The sound is somewhat like a retarded drug-addled attempt at SABBATH with insane guitar solos and excursions into the most depressing, suicidal sounds ever laid to tape. I got this copy from Duane's brother who also (as a high-school-senior) did the cover art (pictured here... sorry for the scanner cutting off the bottom). The two DWARR LP's are truly some of the strangest metal records of all time. They definitely don't sound like anything else, and the guy comes off as clearly disturbed on this release. Essentially, this is a twisted masterpiece. I'm not gonna lie and say that's it's the most brilliantly executed playing or production... but it's definitely insane. Oh, and also rare as hell.
Take advantage of my low opening bid, as copies of this album often go for hundreds of dollars.
