Ep. 278: Acid Rock n' Proto Metal From The Crypt Vol. VII

InObscuria Podcast

This week is the seventh volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of smoke, and join your favorite rock n’ roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal.

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the: LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1976. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.

Songs this week include:

1. Agnes Strange - “Messin’ Around” from Strange Flavour (1975)
2. Socrates Drank The Conium - “Death Is Going To Die” from On The Wings (1973)
3. Piraña - “Thinking Of You” from Pirana II (1972)
4. Zior - “I Really Do” from Zior (1971)
5. November - “Ganska Långt Från Sergel” from 2:a November (1971)
6. The Power Of Zeus - “It Couldn’t Be Me” from The Gospel According To Zeus (1970)
7. Wicked Lester - “She” from Wicked Lester (1972)
