So here are a few of my favorite songs just to get the ball rolling: Bloodrock - Melvin Laid an Egg - 1970 Night Sun - Plastic Shotgun - 1972 Captain Beyond - Raging River of Fear - 1972 Dust - Suicide - 1972 Sir Lord Baltimore - Master Heartache - 1970 Cactus - Evil - 1971

Maybe I'm ignorant but I haven't found a thread for 70's hard rock and proto metal. I've found myself listening to a lot of this stuff lately and I hope that there are others here who are interested. There were so many good bands back then and now very few of them are known to the world. So...

I'm endlessly obsessed with this song and this band. Sleazy blackened street punk from the gutters of NYC: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLhFZ7Xaoz0

Sunn O)))) is boring as fuck. Maybe seeing them live really really stoned would change my mind but come on I don't have the time for this shit.

Lemmy in Airheads, Hard Drive, and Eat the Rich. Also just Airheads in general. Love that movie!

I've never heard of Terra Tenebrosa. If they sound anything like Bolzer I'll have to check 'em out!

Fuck yeah! I figured people here would probably know about 'em but they're a band worth spreading around because they're still new. But seriously, major labels are gonna be knockin' on Bolzer's door real soon. I saw it described somewhere as black/death meets Neurosis which isn't too far off but...

Thanks!

Favorite albums so far: Bolzer - Aura EP Autopsy - The Headless Ritual Darkthrone - The Underground Resistance Nails - Abandon All Life

This is an EP not an album but Bolzer's Aura EP blew me away when it came out. That riff melts my brain. PS can someone show me how to correctly embed videos? I cant seem to figure it out.

So I would like to take a minute to thank everybody for responding. I didn't expect so many people to be so interested or so vocal on this subject. My takeaways from this conversation are myriad. Firstly, the production of tapes is cost-effective for small bands. It may not be as cost-effective...

Wish I could remember the band name. It was at Hospital Productions (now closed) in NYC. They were selling some tape in a bag with the blood, hair, and feces of the band members. Blew my mind.

Krow makes some good points here. I also believe that it was the lo-fi black metal enthusiasts who liked having their hand-numbered, only 25 ever made, packaged with the feces of the lead singer (I actually saw this one time) cassette tapes that made this popular again. That being said, I think...

I have to agree with Balls here. But at the same time labels and bands are really jumping on this these days and I know a number of people who are really into collecting tapes. Seems to me that this came out of the underground punk and black metal scenes of recent years where limited runs of...
