Dead Forever...
Dead Forever... is the debut album by Australian proto-heavy metal band Buffalo, recorded and originally released in 1972. Considered by some to be the first Australian heavy metal album, Dead Forever... also strongly displayed the band's progressive rock and psychedelic influences. Significantly, it was the first release by a non-British and non-European artist on the legendary Vertigo label. The album was remastered and reissued in March 2006 by Australian record label Aztec Music on CD with additional tracks, including an A-side and B-side released by the pre-Buffalo outfit Head.

gollark: RadioBot™?
gollark: My server is at home and thus has worse internet connectivity than VPSes but waaay better CPU/RAM/disk.
gollark: You could send it to me and have gibson-osmarks internet radio™ exist.
gollark: It's possible that my calibrations wrt. the value of money are just a bit ridiculous, but that's a nontrivial quantity.
gollark: You could buy a low-end VPS for that much!
