A documentary shot in the North Atlantic and focused on the commercial fishing industry.

The sole album by this forgotten US band was released in 1974 on small Mach Records and is probably the best example of early 70’s British progressive music (of The Moody Blues, Procol Harum or King Crimson) combined with heavy rock sounds (of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep). Most of the album was filled with varied and cleverly-arranged songs definitely influenced by the great names mentioned above, but it must be stressed that Leviathan had its own sound as well characterized by combination of Mellotron and Hammond organ sounds, electric guitar riffs and fine Zeppelin-ish vocals. The band was definitely a true representation of classic rock music! This remastered CD edition was expanded by 2 tracks from very rare vinyl single.
