180 gram vinyl, limited to 500 copies. Color insert includes notes by the band + rare photos The title alone is portentous, at the very least semi-evil sounding.

Fear not, there are no devils, demons, or witches lurking in these woods. Instead we have a heretofore almost completely unknown and rarely spoken of album of nine original tracks, self-released on the legendary RPC Records label by a group of self-motivated teens from Pennsylvania.

Luckily for lovers of musical mayhem, THE CASE got access to their school music room and a four-track recorder over a Christmas break in 1971.

A rock-solid, hard-driving rhythm section lays down the necessary underpinning for moody organ and beautifully-toned guitar.

There is sheer joy at play here, a kind of rock 'n' roll exuberance-with ample raw talent and wicked riffing-which shines through on every cut.

Terrific raw, primitive thrashy rock album, simultaneously loose and intense, like THE VELVET UNDERGROUND at their best.
