One of the great lost classics of Australian rock, Volcanic Rock — the second LP by Buffalo — remains a landmark release in the history of heavy music. Originally issued in 1973, it’s often cited as Australia’s first true stoner rock album, laying the groundwork for generations of heavy psych and proto-metal bands to come.

Volcanic Rock established Buffalo’s reputation for delivering uncompromising, monumental hard rock, blending raw power, blistering guitar work, and dark, blues-infused energy. The album’s intensity and originality have earned it cult status among collectors and heavy rock fans worldwide.

This LP also marked the formation of Buffalo’s classic lineup:

• Dave Tice – vocals (later of The Count Bishops)
• John Baxter – guitar
• Pete Wells – bass (later guitarist in Rose Tattoo)
• Jimmy Economou – drums

A defining moment in Australian heavy psych and hard rock, Volcanic Rock is essential listening for fans of early stoner, doom, and hard rock — a true underground masterpiece.

Recommended for fans of: Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Leaf Hound, and early AC/DC.
