Black Widow

Musical Group

English rock band from Leicester, led by guitarist Jim Gannon; notable for occult-themed lyrics and the 1970 album Sacrifice.

Members mentioned in the reviews include Jim Gannon (guitar), Kip Trevor (vocals), Clive Jones (flute, sax, clarinet) and Zoot Taylor (Hammond, piano). The band is described as incorporating occult and satanic themes into their image and performances; Sacrifice was released in 1970.

Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Black Widow's 1970 album Sacrifice for its blend of folk, progressive and occult motifs, praising instrumentation (flute, Hammond, sax) and Kip Trevor's vocals. Reviewers report ritualistic stage acts and satanic themes as part of the band's image. Sacrifice is described as a dark, scenic folk/prog record and a cult gem.

For:Fans of 1970s occult/psychedelic folk and progressive rock; collectors of rare cult albums.

 The Black Widow weaves her web in the darkness.

 Their debut album, "Sacrifice", is the masterpiece of their originality, right from the first track, "In Ancient Days".
