Description

Paternoster one of the rarest. Dark, heavy progressive.

Author of an only eponymous album in 1972, the Austrian band PATERNOSTER plays a very dark Progressive hard-rock ornamented by spacy parts and a great deal of Hammond organ. ...the vocalist sounds like he's singing 10rpm slower than the music. This grew on me considerably although you may find the vocals unbearable at first.

A dark and moody album, most songs are built on gloomy organ chords over which we get vocals, steady rhythm section and swirling, psychedelic lead guitar. The sound and the restrained tempos remind of early Pink Floyd at their gloomiest, while the vocalist sounds like Procol Harum’s Gary Brooker with a very, very bad hangover. There is not much variation but the music still manages to be surprisingly intense and captivating.
