'A classic in the collecting circuit since ages, the sole release by UK group Elias Hulk was out in 1970 on the Youngblood label. Raw hard-rock, adding some Eastern and blues-rock elements as well. First-ever licensed vinyl reissue, pressed on 180 gram vinyl in a one-off 500 copies pressing. Insert with photos and extensive liners by Andy Morten.'
"One of the legends of the early progressive hard rock scene, this already had a strong reputation back in the 1980s. It's easy to like, with its youthful directness and admirable lack of pretense (a brief drum solo aside). The grisly comic book drawing on the front cover gives a pretty good indication of the sounds inside, where relentlessly pounding drums and feedback guitar leads compete for your attention, while sardonic teenage vocals soar on top. Perhaps most surprising is the quality of the more melodic and introspective passages, which throw light on ambitious lyrics that indicate a certain amount of private reflection. Typically for the period, Unchained is eclectic enough to incorporate both rage moves and blues-rock structures, yet holds together remarkably well." - Patrick Lundborg/Galactic Ramble
