Samel Records 1985
Although the album title, cover art, and even band name, all exude a certain aura of heaviness, Prince Of Darkness is, not surprisingly, not the heaviest slab of molten balls-to-the-wall Metal ever made. A quick glance at the song titles made that abundantly clear, but it certainly didn't stop me from from giving TOX a chance... and I'm glad it didn't. What TOX lack in heaviness is made up for in classy Hard Rock hooks and memorable NWOBHM-style jaunts... think DEEP PURPLE or THIN LIZZY-ish 70s Rock melded with ANGEL WITCH and the mild Prog tendencies of NIGHTWING. The somewhat cheeseball, yet oddly spooky title track is a stonecold classic, and begs to be covered by THE DEVIL'S BLOOD. Welcome to the sorcery!

Thanks mate Excellent record.
BTW, do you have Desolation Angels lp?
Sorry, no Desolation Angels... but DA is possibly the greatest band name of all time.
Amen to DA being best band of all time, sorry about taking 5 years to acknowledge this post.
Prince Of Darkness is one of the best albums ever recorded, Rosa Lee is an epic song.
Cassette tape of Prince Of Darkness on Amazon.co.uk costs over £300, i'd say it woulda been worth the money if a legend hadn't have put the download up for free (thank you ever so much) been trying to get hold of this bad boy since I messed up my vinyl of it
The shop I bought "Prince Of Darkness" at has a second copy! I've thought about buying it again because my copy is really banged up, and pretty bad sounding.
