Meads of Asphodel are described as the Black Metal version of Hawkwind. So much so that Hawkwind cameo on the album.

Then you take J and his disdain towards 70's prog etc (e.g. Hawkwind type bands!), but twist it into something 'extreme'....and you end up back at Meads.

J will prefer Meads to Hawkwind, trust me. :)
 
Meads, huh? Let me do some readin' up about 'em. I'll let you know, and then I'll trade you Prometheus for it. :lol:
 
I was a bit surprised you had it on your trade list!

Here's an excerpt from Aquarius:

...They're also quite psychedelic (drugs involved for sure), with weird changes and spacey synths. Landing rocketships in the Middle Ages, MEADS make for a creditable space rock band. Indeed, these HAWKWIND obsessives do a killer HAWKWIND cover ("Utopia") with two actual HAWKWIND members sitting in! Other guests on this album include Mirai from another AQ fave, Japan's SIGH, one of the only other "black metal" bands on the planet as far-out as the MEADS...

In fact, I think J will be astounded by these guys. I think this album was a Terrorizer album of the month, so Nate would probably go for it too.
