Badlands Dusk

2009, DUSK is the third and final album by Badlands. This disc was recorded in 1992 before the death of singer Ray Gillen. According to drummer Jeff Martin, the songs on DUSK were demos for the third Badlands album. The incredible thing about this album is that the songs were recorded in one take. They haven't been touched up for this disc. For this album to be captured in this fashion, it sounds really good. They always seemed to create some cool bluesy metal that seemed to be well beyond its time. DUSK carries on where the first two albums left off. If you are a fan of Badlands, you should certainly pick this up.
