Ear-splitting hard-rock/proto-doom-metal from the early '70s,
Electric Funeral
were a pioneering Swiss hard-rock band who sadly never registered any studio recordings at the time. Formed in the late '60s by
Edi Hirt
(drums),
Pierrot Wermeille
(bass),
Alain Christinaz
(guitar), and
Dominique Bourquin
(vocals), they were influenced by bands like
Deep Purple
,
Black Sabbath
, and
Led Zeppelin
. Famous for their loud (they played behind giant stacks of Marshall amps) and powerful shows, their sound was too heavy-sounding for a regular label to offer them a contract.
The Wild Performance
is made of private live and rehearsal tapes recorded in 1970 -- very raw and lo-fi -- but it's the only testimony of their brutal sound. First released in 1991 as a limited LP, this is an expanded edition with newly remastered sound and four killer bonus tracks, taken from reels and tapes recently found in the band's archives. These tracks were also recorded in 1970 except for "My Destiny", which dates to 1973. The sound is still lo-fi but slightly better than the original tracks, especially on the killer "You Can Help" (proto-punk á la
Electric Eels
), "My Destiny" and the alternate version of "You Can Help". RIYL: Black Sabbath,
Iron Claw
,
Edgar Broughton Band
,
Moses
,
Sainte Anthony's Fyre
. Includes insert with rare photos and liner and notes by
Klemen Breznikar
(It's Psychedelic Baby).
