KHAZAD DOOM

Throughout the sixties and early seventies, a rock 'n' roll band from suburban Morton Grove, Illinois performed in and around Chicago. Even though they remained together about the same time as the Beatles dominated American pop charts, Khazad Doom (pronounced Kah' zud doom) never made it in the traditional sense. But artistically, over nine years, they forged a kind of music now called Progressive Rock.

After their split in 1972, during the eighties, the band achieved cult status when their promo album LEVEL 6 1/2 was reissued and distributed throughout Europe. Just one copy of the original LEVEL 6 1/2 vinyl rides the top of collectors' wish-lists and has traded for as much as $1,500 a copy!

In 1995, the limited edition retrospective CD called ENCORE! was burnt from Khazad Doom’s original tapes. It includes much of the band’s decade of output. As one reviewer said:

“This collection lovingly and reverently captures the spirit of their contemplative creations."
While the ENCORE! CD is now sold out, Jack Eadon's powerful sixties memoir, Got To Make It! (Now Available
in new collectors' edition!), documents Khazad Doom's infamous struggle for fame and is available at Eadonbooks.com! (The book is loaded with lyrics from many of the band's finest songs and chronicles the details of how they were written and recorded.) It can also be special-ordered at most book stores. (If you need it, its ISBN designation is 0-975-33006-3.)

This site celebrates the fact that in many ways Khazad Doom has become the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band their mentors, the Beatles, wrote about:

It was twenty years ago today Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. They've been goin' in and out of style, But they're guaranteed to raise a smile. So, let me introduce to you The one and only Billy Shears And Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.
