Proto-Metal.
I'm hoping there are some interest in this type music here. There are some fairly well known bands that fit right into this genre. Deep Purple, Sir Lord Baltimore, Flower Travellin' Band, and so own. Anyway, while I really like this bands I'm more interested in the lesser known bands of these types.
I use this term to describe bands that have that certain mix of progressive rock, heavy psych, or hard blues. The normal era in which these bands can be found are late sixties on into the mid seventies and I'm sure later.
Well known bands;
Blue Oyster Cult
Sir Lord Baltimore
Deep Purple
Uriah Heep
Wishbone Ash
Led Zeppelin (arguable)
UFO ^
Flower Travellin' Band
Iron Butterfly
Lesser known bands;
Argus
Buffalo
Blues Creation
Dies Irae
Iron Claw
Leaf Hound
Lucifer's Friend
Lucifer Was
Speed, Glue, and Shinki
Supernaut
Wicked Lady
Sorcery
Yesterday's Children
Atomic Rooster
Icecross
Toad
Night Sun
Anyway, anyone dig this early metal type stuff?
Also, I understand this thread may not be appropriate so lock it or move it or whatever.
