(Good rootsy Stones/Zep-influenced hard rock.)

I really love Blind Idiot God, though. Might rank Undertow slightly over the s/t myself.

IN MEMORIAM

two great fucking all-time BADASS aussie rock tunes that i nominated for the tracks poll but were tragically omitted from the voting spreadsheet:

LIME SPIDERS - OUT OF CONTROL (would have been in my top 10)

VOTE in the 1980's ROCK POLL PLEASE! (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 6 September 2012 03:16 (thirteen years ago)

Thanks for the Skullfower clip, Hellhouse! I always suspected I was missing something by never really listening to them.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 6 September 2012 03:25 (thirteen years ago)

glad you like it. the early records - Form Destroyer, Xaman, IIIrd Gatekeeper, Obsidian Shaking Codex and Last Shot at Heaven - are by far the best. after Last Shot at Heaven, they jettisoned most of the rock elements and tumbled into the bottomless pit of artistic onanism known as "free noise". the first three records in particular feature some of the best heavy psych I've ever heard, and are absolutely worth tracking down.

Hellhouse, Thursday, 6 September 2012 03:50 (thirteen years ago)

IIIrd Gatekeeper is amazing

VOTE in the 1980's ROCK POLL PLEASE! (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 6 September 2012 03:54 (thirteen years ago)

I agree. IIIrd Gatekeeper and Last Shot at Heaven are both available on iTunes, too.

THE FLUID - YOUR KINDA THING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sldl_HQwCpU

have to admit that i'm somewhat embarrassed to be repping this. embarassed by the the relatively soft retro-rocking, still more embarrassed by the he-man heybaby vocals. probably should have nominated "cold outside" instead, as it's a little easier to defend, but goddam it, i like this song. so there.
