Warlock - Warlock (1972)

A decade before Doro Pesch’s metal crew took the name Warlock in 1982, it was the name of a mysterious band from Detroit. Precious little is known about them, except that they issued this rare, lone album in 1972 on the short-lived Music Merchant label set up that year by the Motown songwriting and production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland.

This reissue returns the record to vinyl for the first time since that release. If the concept of a jazzy love-in between Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Doors and early Deep Purple whets your musical appetite, then Warlock’s soulful, genre-blending sound may waft your kaftan.
