Iron Claw - Iron Claw (1970 - 1974) [Full Album | Forgotten Heavy Psych Vol. 6] ☕️Support the channel: https://ko-fi.com/rockarhivexxcentry 💵 PayPal: rockarchive20@gmail.com Welcome to the sixth release of our series "Forgotten Heavy Psych" — dedicated to the rawest and most obscure gems of the early 70s underground. Today, we dive deep into a foundational masterclass of staggering proto-doom weight, raw British blues-rock grit, and some of the earliest heavy riffs ever put to tape. [ THE STORY ] Formed in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1969, Iron Claw holds a legendary status as one of the very first bands to absorb the dark, crushing weight of early Black Sabbath and forge their own brand of heavy proto-doom and underground hard rock. Named after a lyric from King Crimson’s "21st Century Schizoid Man", the band captured a staggeringly heavy sound between 1970 and 1974 across various line-ups. Though a formal album eluded them during their initial run, they laid down some of the earliest, dirtiest riffs in British rock history. Highly revered by underground rock collectors, their work balances a twin-guitar attack, brooding basslines, and a raw power that directly paved the way for modern stoner and doom metal. [ THIS RELEASE ] This video features the complete archival collection spanning 1970 to 1974, meticulously preserved to showcase the band's sonic evolution. From the blistering, aggressive opening punch of "Clawstrophobia" to the crushing rhythms of "Skullcrusher" and the epic, sprawling jams like "Strait Jacket", this comprehensive release captures the full creative scope of a phenomenal underground act that was criminally overlooked by the mainstream industry. [ AUDIO QUALITY ] All audio tracks for this video were sourced in high quality from careful digital transfers to fully maintain the authentic, alive analog atmosphere of the early 1970s. It preserves the organic dynamic range, warmth, and crunch of the original recording sessions without the compressed, lifeless feel of modern brickwalled mastering. [ TRACKLIST ] 00:00 — 1.
