( ) Of Dust’s two albums, this 1972 LP is generally considered the harder of the two, the more metal. Though that may be in part ’cause of the cover art, and album title! But perhaps it is somewhat more Sabbathian. “Downer rock” they called it back then (we’re told). Their song ‘Suicide’ (the penultimate track on side 2 of the original vinyl) – whooah, that could be Pentagram! That song alone makes this an essential purchase for any true doom / psych fan. It’s an all time classic. Between that and the awesome Frank Frazetta cover painting, what more could you want?
But it’s not all doom n’ gloom n’ barbarians – Hard Attack has its lighter side, but unlike a lot of their peers, the poppier and / or less rockin’ stuff Dust do is actually really great. Sure, a song like ‘Thusly Spoken’ features strings and a Beatlesy melody, but the lyrics still name-check Satan and speak of dancing demons. Lush, gorgeous downer-pop that sets you up to be crushed by the following, urgently hard-rockin’ track ‘Learning To Die’. They do that throughout the album, alternating gentle – even acoustic – numbers with the proggy proto-metal workouts that the headbangers of 1972 must have loved.
It’s hard to understand why Dust didn’t “make” it, as this stuff is certainly the equal of big sellers from their era by Deep Purple or Uriah Heep. Great singing, riffs, melodies, and that “feel” – it’s all here.
We mentioned Pentagram above – if you’ve got that awesome Relapse label anthology of Pentagram’s original seventies recordings, First Daze Here, you should definitely check out the work of Dust, who were both contemporaries of, and an influence on, the Ram’s Head boys. Yes, Dust are an important name on the list of forgotten but godlike ’70s hard rock bands that make today’s so-called stoner rockers sound like punk / grunge wanna-bes.
That ’70s pantheon includes, besides Dust, bands like like Lucifer’s Friend, Highway Robbery, Jerusalem, Orang-Utan, Toad, Budgie, Sir Lord Baltimore, Captain Beyond, Bang, Stray, Leafhound, etc. In a word (again): classic. Too bad you’ll never hear ‘em on your local “classic rock” radio station…
Oh, and Dust featured the future Marky Ramone on drums, by the way, before he decided punk was the way to go (or even had that option)…(roadburn.com)
