Quotes:
"Sledgehammer heavy masterpiece of underground British rock" - Classic Rock Magazine
“Big fat chords, wailing guitar, punch-drunk bass, and straight-ahead solid drums all strutting in your face like some massive guy you just don’t want to f**k with.” - Headheritage.co.uk
"The Jerusalem album is a golden nugget of early metal from 1972 and while it may not have the sheer heaviness of Black Sabbath or the polish of Deep Purple or Zeppelin, it has a songwriting quality that was ahead of its time. This album has a sound and style that many bands today strive more and still don't come close to obtaining. If you have been thinking about starting an obscure 70's rock collection, then there is no better place to start than with Jerusalem." - Doommantia
