Uncle acid & the deadbeats-blood lust

Uncle acid & the deadbeats. With a name like that you just can't lose! so it's no surprise that their first record, Blood lust, released in 2011 by Rise above records is a winner.

Old school doomy heavy metal, stoner, psychedelic rock, a very 70' sound, a black sabbath meets Blue oyster cult vibe, all that enters in the making of Blood lust. Of course just that would be cool, but not enough. Right. What makes blood lust a really cool and enjoyable record, a record above the mass of the revival old school 70' rock/metal wave is great songwriting. That's the key. A great sound, good musicianship, really cool vocals, good riffs and melodies, but above all that, great songs, the capacity to absorb the listener in mysterious and menacing atmospheres through dark psyched stoned trips. That's all this record is about. Really cool stuff!.

Electric wizard-Legalize drugs & murder

A new Electric wizard 7' (vinyl only) is out on Rise above records it's called Legalize drugs & murder.

The first song is called Legalize drugs and murder is a good song in the vein of the latest EW releases. no surprise but a cool song. About this song thhe band declared :  "…the new song is a definitive statement on the Electric Wizard cult…we demand total freedom and revolution….man, things have got bad , the world is evil…." and concerning their sound "…it has to be primal and violent, y'know cos we wanna get to people..and it had to be anthemic to inspire revolutionary thoughts. We wanted to be Slade and Sabbath meets the Baader-Meinhoff Gang…". Wow!

you can listen to it here.

The other song is a really cool instrumental, sounding like the soundtrack of a horror/giallo/blaxploitation B movie, with a menacing vicious groove, psychedelia and some funky drumming parts. really cool! something different while really sticking to the Electric Wizard identity.
