Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal

Heedblerk · Jan 8, 2012

I don't know if The Open Mind have been mentioned yet, but they definitely fall into the category of proto-heavy metal.

I've only heard a couple of tracks by them, but check this out - still incredibly fresh! :

Here's their wiki page:

Definitely a first appearance by The Open Mind here in this thread, Heed.
Really cool Heavy Psych with flashes of proto. The section starting at about the 1:50 mark that carries on to about 2:00 was very interesting, as well as the drumming outro . Nice post, gonna have to check this band out.

Pleased you like it, Wolf! It's a great song that - the lyrics aren't the best, but kind of add to its charms.

I discovered them via the Rubble compilation, which has a few good tunes on by bands I can't even remember!

Raunchy funky, hard rockin with some punky 'tude and good guitar,US hard rockers Zipper, were formed in 1973 by ex-Weeds frontman Fred Cole.
They, as per usual with bands in this thread on so many occasions, parted ways after only pressing one LP. The Self Titled debut was released in 1974. Cool hard rockin' and just unusual enough to get my interest. This CD has been reissued as of 2003 ,,,

My response to this post at first glance was "Kinda stupid name" but these guys rock. Nice post, never heard them before.

May Blitz is incredible. That 2nd album is a pricey one, if you collect original LP's.

I only have 2 albums on CD, it was much cheaper than on vinyl.

Same here, and the reissue CDs at that.
