Sir
Lord Baltimore was an American rock and early heavy metal band from
Brooklyn, New York City, that was formed in 1968 and consisted of lead
vocalist and drummer John Garner, guitarist Louis Dambra, and bassist
Gary Justin. In a 1971 review of their debut record, Kingdom Come, Creem
magazine as containing the first documented use of the term "heavy
metal" to refer to a style of music. AllMusic described them as
"arguably America's first bona fide heavy metal band". Sir Lord
Baltimore featured a drumming lead singer, traditionally a rarity in
rock and metal music.
In 2006, Garner and Dambra reunited as Sir Lord
Baltimore and released a new album, Sir Lord Baltimore III Raw. The
reformed band featured an overt Christian focus and lyrics, an emphasis
not found in their earlier work. Justin, no longer an active musician,
did not participate. Garner died on December 5, 2015, of liver failure,
ending the band.
"Kingdom Come" was one of the earliest heavy metal
albums and is considered an important influence on the genre. All of the
songs on Kingdom Come were co-written and arranged by Mike Appel, who
would later become Bruce Springsteen's manager. Co-produced by Appel and
Jim Cretecos, the album was recorded at Vantone Studios in New Jersey
before being mixed by Eddie Kramer and Kim King at Electric Lady Studios
in New York. Kramer is well known for his work with Jimi Hendrix, the
Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie and Curtis
Mayfield.
