Comus

First Utterance

'First Utterance' is the debut album of the progressive folk band Comus, released in 1971. The album was notable for its unique blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, with elements of paganism and the macabre. The overall thematic tone of the album is of vulnerable innocence facing abusive power, the songs dealing with violence, rape, and insulin shock therapy. References to Comus by other bands and artists include Opeth, citing its lyrics in album and song titles. Experimental outfit Current 93 covered 'Diana' as the opening song on their 1997 LP 'Horsey'. The cover artwork was drawn in ball point pen by Roger Wootton, lead singer and songwriter of the band. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
