Although Leviticus never acheived the same general success like Jerusalem did, they were one of the major Christian hard rock bands back in the day. Leviticus were closer to heavy metal (where Jerusalem were steeped in the older hard rock tradition), and most of what they did is both too late and too metal for this blog. This debut 12” makes it by the skin of its teeth thanks to the final track of the four. The first three aren't something to waste any words on, but ”Min mästare” is more symph than heavy metal. And with its seven minutes, it becomes rather epic in scope with synths and extended solo guitar. Had it only been better mixed (drums and vocals too low, synths too loud) it could have made more impact though. ”Stå och titta på” is a bit valuable in its original vinyl incarnation and was reissued as a CD EP in the early 00's by a U.S. label, but it's not really worth seeking out. ”Min mästare” is indeed the best track in this set, but still not good enough to motivate a purchase in any format.
