Cleveland acid rock quintet Damnation, led by the enigmatic frontman Adam Blessing, debuted with their self-titled album in 1969, which contained the minor hit Cookbook. The album also resulted in a tour supporting the Faces, but Damnation’s brand of melodic but face-melting acid rock was too lysergic for nationwide success. They went on to do another album, Second Damnation, which spawned another regional hit, Back to the River, but success still evaded the band. The Damnation reissues have been approved by the band’s original bass player Ray Benich, and they come with liner notes and all original artwork. Limited to 200 copies on coloured vinyl. Reissue of 1969 album by The Damnation Of Adam Blessing, led by charismatic vocalist Bill Constable (aka Adam Blessing). They were an extraordinary band, able to go head-to-head with their more illustrous counterparts. The sound is equal parts psychedelic rock, hard rock, garage and blues.
