Pholas Dactylus, Italy

News: And here we are again with another band that has gone missing for 45 years. We are getting word that they will have a new album entitled Hieros Gamos, and it's to be released on January June7th of 2019 (thanks Bas!). New cover attached.

Location: Milan

Overview: Pholas Dactylus were a previous "one off" band who released a classic album back in the 1973 heyday. It's most distinguishing feature being that the vocals were narrated/spoken verse sung. I have no notes from UMR to share, though I've owned the album in question for well over 20 years. We'll get to it eventually...
