*Writing On The Wall* is the debut album by the British hard rock band The Power Of The Pics, released in 1970. The album, which has its roots in hard rock and progressive rock, combines heavy, fuzz-laden guitar riffs with atmospheric organ parts and rhythmically daring arrangements. The band’s sound is raw yet ambitious, characterised by dramatic dynamic shifts, extended instrumental passages and a moody, often psychedelic tone that reflects the experimental spirit of the era. The vocals oscillate between raw power and theatrical intensity, giving the album a distinctive character that sets it apart from the more straightforward rock releases of the time. Both lyrically and musically, Writing On The Wall leans towards dark, mystical and introspective themes, reinforcing its cult status among collectors and enthusiasts of underground British rock. The production favours an unpolished, live feel, capturing the band’s energy and emphasising the interplay between guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. Over the years, the album has built a reputation as a hidden gem of early 1970s rock, prized for its eccentric charm, inventive structures and the sense of creative freedom that runs through every composition.
