about

POWER OF DARKNESS-originally recorded in 1971 by the band 'Ronno' Featuring of course Mick 'Ronno' Ronson. Better known as David Bowie‘s iconic guitar hero/secret weapon, from his rocking early years, circa 1970-73.
In fact Ronno, as a band was basically what later became ‘The Spiders from Mars’ but with a different singer, in this case Benny Marshall, instead of Bowie.
Ronno only released one single and ‘Power of Darkness’ (the B-Side) appeared on various promo-only Vertigo swirl label sampler LP's in Peru, of all places, alongside of Black Sabbath, Warhorse, Beggers Opera and other heavies of 1971.

This is actually a blistering High Energy/Lo-Fi garage rock tune, with very little in common with David Bowie at all. More along the lines of UK heavy blues rock, Proto metal artists like The Jeff Beck group, Humble Pie, Deep Purple etc. Lyrically, it’s about as Doomy as any Sabbath, Coven or Black Widow song of the era, but with a fist pumping sing along chorus and danceable beat.
Our old buddy Ghengis Kowalski, also a longtime Ronson fan, laid down the Raging vocal track on this Slab of demonic decadence.
