Epizootic ~ Sweden


Daybreak (1976)

Epizootic's sole album is a highly ambitious, but amateurish kind of progressive hard rock. There are many nice touches that are unusual for such an aggressive album, including electric piano and flute. It definitely features a high level of complexity, not always found on harder edged albums like this. Really great guitar throughout. The vocals are a bit strained, which recalls many an early 70s German album - so it just takes a bit of time for the ears to adjust. 

Ownership: 2020 Long Hair (LP). Insert with a brief history in both Germany and English, with scans of newspaper clippings and the like. 

No legit CD reissue as of 3/28/25.

8/26/10 (review); 11/17/20 (update / new entry)
