Skorpió - 1975 - Hosszú Az Út (Hungarian Prog Rock)

Uploaded by http://aftersabbath.blogspot.com - the blog for obscure 60s/70s heavy rock, proto-metal and psych.

Of course not to be confused with SCORPIONS, because SKORPIO hail from Hungary, and they released their album 'Rohanas' in 1975, so it might sound a bit dated here and there. However, SKORPIO still proves they could definitely play classic 70s orientated Hardrock, which was obviously influenced by DEEP PURPLE, URIAH HEEP and LED ZEPPELIN. They sounded very professional and were maybe one of the first real hardrockbands from Hungary. Their re-issued album 'A rohanas' also contains 3 unreleased bonustracks, so for a die-hard fan of the band this is already somewhat like a must to check out. In total we can find 12 songs, and the band was also specialised in some long instrumental passages (such as on the progrock piece "Fantaszia") and adding some pop influences (trumpet), but the best songs are the pure 70s Hardrocksongs "Jo lenne, ha szeretnel" (DEEP PURPLEish), "Keresem, keresem", "A rohanas" (a la LED ZEPPELIN), "Hosszu az ut" (one of the strongest song, a bonustrack!) and "Minden nap megtortenhet velem" (a la HEEP). So here's another band to check out and like most of the other Hungarian acts recently reviewed, I also hope to review their other releases, because you never know if they released even better records than the ones you get to hear first.
