First Utterance
is the debut album of the progressive folk band
Comus
. It was released in 1971, with the opening song 'Diana' being released as a single. The album was notable for its unique blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, with elements of paganism and the macabre. The overall thematic tone of the album is of vulnerable innocence facing abusive power, the songs dealing with violence ('Drip Drip'), rape ('Diana,' 'Song to Comus'), and insulin shock therapy ('The Prisoner'). References to Comus by other bands and artists include
Opeth
, citing its lyrics in album and song titles. Experimental outfit
Current 93
also covered 'Diana' as the opening song on their 1997 LP
Horsey
. The cover artwork was drawn in ball point pen by
Roger Wootton
, lead singer and songwriter of the band. The centerfold artwork was painted by guitarist
Glenn Goring
.
First Utterance
is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl and includes an insert."
