About the album

Roky Erickson sang for the 13th Floor Elevators, the Texas band that helped invent psychedelic rock, and after some very hard years he came back in the late 70s with The Aliens and a set of songs inspired by B-movies and old horror comics. Produced by Creedence Clearwater Revival's Stu Cook, the recordings first came out as Five Symbols in the UK in 1980 and as The Evil One the next year.

"Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer)", "I Walked With A Zombie", "Creature With The Atom Brain" and "Bloody Hammer" are hard rock with a wild-eyed grin and real heart underneath. It's become one of the great cult records, beloved by everyone from R.E.M. to ZZ Top. Monsters, demons and vampires: it's the most fun anyone's had being scared since the drive-in closed.
