Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal

[DarioSmut]

Virus, from Germany !! Krautrock band, but their second lp, "Thoughts", revealed a significant change in their sound: fans of early Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath or Black Widow will appreciate !!!

ANYONE EVER HEARD OF CAPTAIN BEYOUND? I LIKE THEIR ALBUM SUFFENTLY BREATHLESS/

Yes Dearprudence, they've been posted here, and they're GRRRRREAT !!!

Their "Captain Beyond" from 1972 is even better than "Sufficiently breathless" !!! It's definitely a masterpiece !!

I recently bought "Lost and found 1972-73" with demos and rarities, it's really amazing !!

I'm thinking about getting their last "Dawn explosion" from 1977: anyone has suggestions? I've heard a couple of minutes on youtube and it sounds not bad...

ANYONE EVER HEARD OF CAPTAIN BEYOUND? I LIKE THEIR ALBUM SUFFENTLY BREATHLESS/

Capt. Beyond is beyond any eclectic rock sound !!!

 

[nedkelly]

Of course B.O C. is not your typical obscure band, but this gem by the early band is!!!

 

[DarioSmut]

Yes Nedkelly, these are the Stalk Forrest Group, pre-Blue Öyster Cult !!! I recently ordered their cd and am actually waiting on it !!!

Here's another HEAVY band: shitty band name but crystal clear album title... :

FRESH BLUEBERRY PANCAKE "Heavy" 1970

Super obscure, Mystique - Black Rider EP has a cult following and sells for a lot on the internet with you have it on vinyl.
