Over-Gain Optimal Death – Over-Gain Optimal Death (2008)

2008 noise rock Over-Gain Optimal Death psychedelic rock USA No Comments

“Over-Gain Optimal Death, or OGOD, are a heavy psych power trio from Pasadena, California. Playing blown-out overgaining speed-freak-outs, their sound is enveloped in a total nihilist fuzz atmosphere, mating intoxicating pulsing repetition with hyperactive improvisations and out of body guitar solos. Resurrecting US 60s punk and acid-riffage from the likes of Blue Cheer, the Stooges, MC5 and live Hendrix Experience, OGOD also draws greatly on the in-the-red sound aesthetic and high energy of the Japanese Speed Freak trios of the 80s/90s: High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic. OGOD are quickly rising as one of the heaviest psych bands of the U.S.”

Squadra Omega – Tenebroso (2008)

2008 Italy krautrock psychedelic rock Squadra Omega No Comments

“Squadra Omega is an Italian psychedelic free-form jam band that knows how to bend your ears. It is The Grateful Dead, Sun Ra and Coltrane all rolled together in one night of all joy and dread abandoned. This is some of the best free improvisation you will find in avant jazz and rock. There’s a lot of 70s jam rock influence but they interact and mix their influences together totally 21st century.”

The Psycheground Group – Psycheground (1970)

1970 Italy progressive rock psychedelic rock The Psycheground Group 3 Comments

“A sweet psychedelic set, but one with very mysterious origins — originally recorded as a sound library session, by a group that was really the better-known Nuova Idea! The album’s definitely got a vibe that fits its sound library roots — all instrumental, with a bit less bravado than most psyche albums of this type — almost more of a focus on the rhythms, which stretch out strongly amidst the Hammond and guitar solos on the set.”

Da Captain Trips – Alljamed (2010)

2010 Da Captain Trips Italy psychedelic rock stoner rock 6 Comments

“The name of the band is a tribute to the Stephen King’s saga “The Dark Tower”, the best fantasy story ever written. The Captain Trips is a powerful kind of flu that kill millions of people in the story…they don’t want to kill anybody…they only like how the name sounds… The songs are composed rigorously during the jam sessions, every practice is recorded so the best of every session is taken and elaborated. They always improvise during their shows and every show is recorded too, so listening to it, they can feel how the songs change, depending on the different places, different public and different atmosphere. The influences are too many to be mentioned…from the 60’s-70’s psychedelic rock to many instrumental bands of yesterday and today.”
