Earth, Weed and Fire

psychedelic, spacey stoner metal. can't find a damn thing for 'em, so you get a generic image.
for fans of Mammatus and Bongripper, this shit is heavy and catchy. not as soul-wrenching as many, but said catchiness makes it worth a listen. there are a few samples thrown about that don't quite fit the mood, but Earth, Weed and Fire more than make up for it in atmosphere. I look forward to embracing the collection in the way it was intended. until then, still great music. the riffs may be a little stale for some, making listening a long haul, or they may march along to make for a great trip.

Greatest (Bong) Hits

Krokodil

Location: Switzerland
Era: Late 60's/Early 70's
Movement: Krautrock
Genre: Psychedelic Progressive Rock

Krokodil were one of those groups that were gone as quick as they came. However, the legacy they left behind is one that any self-respecting Prog fan could truly appreciate. While their first album took on a much more Blues-Rock sound, Swamp showed the transition to a more Psychedelic sound, one that was truly exemplified on their 1971 release, what many Krok fans would consider their magnum opus, An Invisible World Revealed.

SubArachnoid Space - Almost Invisible

Band: SubArachnoid Space
Genre: Psychedelic Rock
Country: USA

An amazing album of dark and atmospheric psych-rock, at times almost oceanic in depth, perfect for getting lost in. Its sounds are incomparable to anything I've heard as of late. Absolute perfection. All 6 tracks of this album are live sessions, adding to the mystique and wonder of the music.

Be lost.

Guapo - Black Oni

Part two of this so far exciting trilogy. Whereas Five Suns presented itself as one whole, Black Oni shows more distinction without subtracting from overall quality. Precision drumming, driving bass, vintage sounding keys and buzz guitar melts together, dynamized audial bliss.

Evoke.

Guapo - Five Suns

Alrighty, this has been a while. I managed to catch Guapo live back a couple of weeks ago now at a little festival in my town. Didn't quite know what to expect, except for something people described as dark, progressive and psyched up rock. Turns out it was, and they put out an amazing live show. Exhilarating drumming, throbbing bass, jazzy piano and spaced out guitar. Fabulous mucisianship. Part one of a full-length trilogy.

Evoke.
