I forever regret throwing them and the Brock/Turner/Calvert spinoffs in the
trash but The Hell's Angels made me do it.

Hawkwind - Chronicle of The Black Sword (Flicknife 1985, SHARP033: Being
the first Hawkwind album I ever bought back in 1988 in high school, the
original release on the Flicknife label, "Chronicle of The Black Sword"
proved it was only a matter of time before the undisputed Kings of
Spacerock and British underground institution, the trusty crew of Star Rats
led by Baron Dave Brock himself, the mighty Hawkwind, would release a
concept album based on long time collaborator Michael Moorcock's
mythological fantasy hero cycle, starring the apocalypse junkie warrior
Elric of Melnibone and his soul drinking black sword Stormbringer. Having
yet again teamed up with bassist Alan Davey (Al Chemical), drummer Danny
Thompson (D.T. Turbine), guitarist Huw Lloyd Langton (Rocky Paths) and
synthmeister Harvey Bainbridge (Black Earl Brainbox), this 80s classic
lineup of Hawkwind also went on to do several successful theatrical live
performances of the material at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1985 and 86 which
was celebrated in the form of a video and a following double live album,
"Live Chronicles". Kicking off with "Song of The Swords", a rocking Brock
heavy metal tune with a snarling and challenging vocal line, "Chronicle of
The Black Sword" is qute a varied effort as shown with the next track,
Bainbridge's "Shade Gate", a gently soothing and rhythmic ambient piece of
psychedelia, followed by a characteristic Langton piece, "Sea King".
Overall, the album is a great mix of varied lyrical and musical material,
with the classic live hit "Needle Gun" sounding something like a souped up,
evil sounding ZZ Top! "Elric" is an excellent rock number poetically
chronicling the central character, "Zarozinia" a distant, drifting
psychedelic ballad of Elric's magickally sleeping lover-cousin, and
"Arioch" is a ripping piece of acid drenched instrumental speed metal
summoning the diety and Lord of Chaos himself. Other tracks like "Chaos
Army" and "The Demise" are more atmospheric and theatrical pieces
chronicling the onmarching horror hordes of the forces of Chaos and Elric's
sacrifice to Arioch. "Sleep of A 1000 Tears" is a Moorcock co-penned
classic Hawkwind styled driving psychedelic rock number. The original
Flicknife version of the CD came with an excellent live version of the
classic "Assault & Battery", something of a biker anthem off 1975's classic
"Warrior on The Edge of Time" LP. Overall, with "Chronicle of The Black
Sword", Hawkwind had proven that "concept" wasn't dead afterall in the UK
underground scene of the mid-80s, and that heavy metal could survive just
as well along with it.)
