Zior - Every Inch A Man (UK - Heavy Psych - 1973)

I’ve read a few reviews of this UK four-piece’s self-titled debut, and more than once it is declared as a sound akin to Sabbath. A few shining heavy moments aside, if this sophomore release is any indication of a Sabbath blueprint on the first, then people haven’t heard enough bands to compare Zior to. In all reality, except for tinges in the first and final song, it’s about as BS as my grandmother’s bicycle. Sometimes I think reviewers get bogged down if not lazy, the record or cd in hand seems about as interesting as a pipeline, they read other people’s reviews for a brief overview, flip through tracks just to say they listened to the damn thing, and whallah…a review. Now where’s my paycheck. The band gets a reputation from all these like-minded reviews, and the result is a lot of disappointed music-loving consumers. In reality, the only thing these country mates have in common are some witchcraftian lyrics and an artist called Keef who painted the lurid covers for both band’s debuts.
Less obscure than the band’s moniker (named after a mountainside city in the Bible) and the album’s title (let’s just sit back and ponder this title, eh…) is the band’s music; a mixture of blues, progression, old-time and heavy rock, and some light psych and folk to fill out these 13 tracks. The band does a decent job tossing this mixture around within the songs as well as the overall procession of tracks, intermingling the diverse with the driven most of the time so as to not sound similar. From what I can pick apart, their lyrics are part dark-stained poetics, part straightforward, depending on the mood of the song. Their musical structures and diversity brings Australian band Blackfeather to mind, though lacking a little of the outbacker's refinement and the vocals are 95% night and day.

The Mad's - Molesto (Peru - Psychedelic Rock - 2013, recorded in 1968-1971)

A band lost in time, of unjust neglect, known to few, and many others have heard about the legends around The Mad's. Formed in 1965, in Lima, Peru. Influenced by The Kinks, The Troggs, Vanilla Fudge, Buffalo Springfield and especially The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Never simple or some LP recorded in Peru, just recorded their trials, they wanted to give all his musical ability on stage and the absence of recordings into just that whoever wanted to hear them attend their concerts. They never had the intention to record an album, but were in the habit of recording their essays to listen and watch as the jammins came out. The energy of the concert was awesome, they had all their songs rehearsed and chose recently on stage the set list. 
In mid-1969, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards come to Peru to unwind from the stresses of the Stones. In a presentation, the English approach the band and they were told it they had liked the music and that should go to England. Them data gave their manager, Marshall Chess.
In early 1970, they traveled to England to accept the ofefer of the Marshall Chess. He took them to the Isle of Wight Festival, where they went backstage. 
The Mad's (Molesto, changed in England) recordeed a demo and some of their rehearsals at Mick Jagger's castle at Stargroves, using The Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. This tape got Molesto gigs at the Lyceum, Club Marquee, and Roadhouse.
Time after, the group disbanded due to component wear.
Now, years later, we can enjoy the music of The Mad's, the myth becomes reality ...
