Sir Lord Baltimore
United States • 1968-01-01 – 2015-12-05
Sir Lord Baltimore was a rock band from Brooklyn, New York, active primarily in the early 1970s. The group released two albums on Mercury Records: "Kingdom Come" (1970) and "Sir Lord Baltimore" (1971). Their music combined hard rock and early heavy metal elements. A review of "Kingdom Come" in *Creem* magazine is notable for including one of the earliest documented uses of the term "heavy metal" to describe a style of music. The band was known for its loud, aggressive sound and energetic performances.
