I've a soft spot for the Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends album. Pleases me to hear the classic Zep sound behind those gormless vocals & lyrics.

Apart from the intro to Fire, there's hardly any horror lyrics or evil music on the CWoAB album. :?
I was thinking more of his image with the face paint and the fire on his head and stuff. I'm honestly not that familiar with any of his other songs. Surely Nightmare has some semi-scary lyrics?

Well, biker look is pretty horror for some.
Or did they have that image at the times?

Lyrically they were dealing with horror/occult themes. "Demons", "Archangel","Halloween","Demon's deciple"...

EDIT: How do you exactly define "horror image"? Black leather, spikes and skulls are horrifying stuff either you are a biker or not.

Well, I am not expert with Iron Cross but I always think of this:

And yeah! biker gangs cause terror and horror. At least last time I read the local news paper.
