The Hounds Of Hasselvander

Musical Group

A project led by Joe Hasselvander, a multi-instrumentalist primarily known as a drummer; the project released the covers album Ancient Rocks (issued 2016) which mines obscure proto-metal and '70s sources.

Joe Hasselvander is publicly known as a long-time drummer and multi-instrumentalist associated with Pentagram; he also appears on a Blue Cheer studio album. The covers album Ancient Rocks compiles obscure mid-'60s/'70s proto-metal tracks and was released in 2016.

The available review treats Ancient Rocks as a passion-driven covers album led by Joe Hasselvander, a multi-instrumentalist best known as a drummer. The record mines obscure mid-'60s/'70s proto-metal and doom sources, with high points (e.g., "Primitive Man") and weaker closing tracks. Overall a respectful, sometimes critical appraisal.

For:Fans of doom, proto-metal and stoner-leaning covers; listeners who enjoy dusty, obscure '60s/'70s proto-metal rediscoveries.

 At sixty years strong, in every sense, the former drummer of doom metal legends Pentagram and Raven (as well as on the last studio album of the seminal BlueCheer) takes on this covers album accompanied by a small army of musicians, his "hounds", hence the name of the band "The Hounds Of Hasselvander", a name inspired, among other things, by a phrase from JulianCope used in a review of Pentagram to describe the aggression of Joe’s guitars.
