Open the core, enter hell's door
Primevil
was an Indiana hard rock band whose sole album, 1974's
Smokin' Bats at Campton's, sounds like a direct influence on stoner rock almost twenty years later. Metal cred can be found in the devil album art, bearing an uncanny resemblance to
Venom
's
Black Metal
. The demon face, logo placement, album title placement and font, they are all spot-on. Hell, Venom even recorded an album called
Prime Evil
, and members of that band started a new band called Primevil (to release an album this summer). Could all of that be coincidence?
