UPDATE: One of the band member has commented on this video and has lifted some of the mystery surrounding this release: “Astaroth was formed in Taylor, Michigan in late 1972 and the record was recorded in 1975 on the Adesta records label. “Lady of the moon” was the ballet on side b. The band consisted of 3 members: Mark on bass and vocals, Jim on guitar and me (Alan) on drums and back up vocals.” Thank you Alan!

Obscure piece of occult rock taken from the one and only single. There is no info on this band whatsoever. The reissue by Unseen Forces label first stated it might be from the late 60’s but the new info now seems to point to 1975. Great stuff anyway, be sure to check the side B, “Lady Of The Moon”!
