Need help with 60's, 70's and early 80's doom

[Krilons Resa]

Flower Travellin' Band (absolutely fucking amazing guitarwork)
Black Widow
Bedlam
Socrates Drank The Conium (more absolutely fucking amazing guitarwork)
Eloy

+Jerusalem and Lucifer Was.

By the way Flower Travellin' Band will rule all of you guys.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Jerusalem owns you Brandon.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Thanks for showing them to me Ken.

+Jerusalem and Lucifer Was.

You mean Lucifer's Friend. The newest "kinda on topic" band that totally rocked my inner self is probably The Ghost . Early incarnacations of the band featured Tony Iommi in the lineup. Just listen to the vocals...well not only the vocals, but the vocals are crazy.

LUCIFER WAS - Underground And Below : 70's HEAVY PROG.. imagine a mix of JETHRO TULL and SABBATH... this is an amazing album! = $16

From ELR

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Whoa..i didn't even know about this band. Is it that good ?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Not sure, but I've seen it mentioned a few times in hell ride as being doomy prog. Those guys know their heavy rock.

 

[Krilons Resa]

So, youve never even heard Lucifer Was but rec'ing them?


Randy Holden - Population II <---

 

[Mr_Haze]

One that isn't mentioned is Wicked Lady's Axeman Cometh album. Recorded 68-72, not released until 94. Has anyone heard their other album? Psychotic Overkill? I don't know much about the band, but I really like this album.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Never heard it. Im intrigued to know what they sound like?

 

[Mr_Haze]

At times they sound like Witchcraft, at others they're more fuzzed out like Blue Cheer's debut. Some songs have punchier productions than others (like the Axeman Cometh) and others sound like the more dirgy side of Sabbath and are drawn out (Life and Death is 10 min long).

I'm bad at describing music so these are my fav two, and imo the two catchiest, songs from the disc

edit: maybe more psychedelic than you're used to? i dont know, but it is awesome.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hey, thanks a lot! DL'ing now.

Will be back ...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, I wouldnt really call it psychedelic at all but it is pretty good. They absolutely remind me of Blue Cheer a lot and, obviously ealry Pentagram who were directly influenced from Blue Cheer...I do wonder if Witchcraft was listening to these dudes as well.

Have you heard the above mentioned Randy Holden album?

 

[Mr_Haze]

Nope. I'll definately look into it when I get the time though though, I gotta head out. If you post yousendit I'll check it tomorrow or something
