Dzjenghis Khan - Hey You! (USA - Heavy Psych - 2009)
Lots of fuzz , muddy bass and a sound that reminds you of late 60s psychedelic bluesrock power. The name of the bass-player "Binksebus Eruptum" gives a acurate discription of what to expect.
If you are a fan of Blue Cheer , give it a spinn!

Pentagram - Livin' In A Ram's Head/When The Screams Come (USA - Traditional Doom Metal - 1979)
Bobby Liebling is a living legend, fame eluded him in the 70s with the first incarnation of Pentagram. Liebling and company made devil's music, with influences such Black Sabbath and The Stooges; amalgamated have made possible the birth of Doom Metal. Those first years were very hard for the group: They were rejected by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss, lost a recording contract with the producer of Blue Öyster Cult (all this bizarre personality Bobby), in short, must be many anecdotes that have not yet been told about the history of one of the most overlooked bands in time.
The early Pentagram threw their leader, after this, Liebling joined with drummer Joe Hasselvander and then they were joined by members of a band called Death Row, they would be Victor Griffin and Lee Abney. They, then without Lee Abney, would take the cult album for fans of Doom, black cover with purple letters with the name of the band.
The Doom is present here with the first single true Doom Metal, the most emblematic songs of the band, such as Livin 'in a Ram's Head and When The Screams Come.

Bulbous Creation - You Won't Remember Dying (USA - Heavy Psych - 1970)
Talk about Bulbous Creation is the same as talk about a great finding. A relic found in the middle of the limbo and rescued by a small label called Rockadelic. It’s estimated that You Won't Remember Dying had been recorded between the late sixties and early seventies. However, the produced material remained shelved. It just got released in 1994.
It’s very hard to find more information about the band. It’s speculated that they are from Kansas, United States. Just it... Not even the names of the members are known. It includes the record cover. The sinister picture was drawn by Rockadelic.
Too bad this album wasn’t released with the dignity that Bulbous Creation deserved, because the band showed great skills and deserved a professional sound quality.
Those guys play a dense Hard Rock pulled to the Heavy Psych. With a very dark atmosphere, it’s possible to see a little of Black Sabbath in their early days. The lyrics are also heavy, covering topics such as Vietnam War, heroin and Satanism. Still, some moments are lighter, with smooth Blues passages.
Apparently there are two vocalists, the first one with a more severe and sober tone and the second one with an acute and nasal voice. I enjoy more the first one. The second one exaggerates in certain screams and screeches your brain.
From the peaceful Stormy Monday's Blues, trough the tenebrous Heavy Psych from Satan, You Won't Remember Dying is a treat, a disc that unfortunately was hidden for a long time among dusty tapes and old recordings. But, around 25 years later, it had the deserved attention.
