The 50 Heaviest Songs Before Black Sabbath: #20-11
11 - The 31 Flavors, "Distortions of Darkness" (1969)
This band released two albums in 1969 -- one as the Firebirds and one as the 31 Flavors. While the Firebirds album was far more commercially successful, the 31 Flavors’ Hair was undoubtedly a much heavier affair, with the closing track, “Distortions of Darkness,” proving to be one of the heaviest instrumentals this side of “Rat Salad.”
