The Day After The Sabbath

Album: Vibraciones Latinoamericanas Get this comp here: https://aftersabbath.blogspot.com/2023/10/151-Bolivia-60s-70s-Hard-Rock-Psych.html We set the scene with some nice Bolivian flavour. This track combines pan-pipes with psych guitar and spacey Moog atmospherics to great effect. Los Grillos are one of the most iconic bands here and spanned the 60s beat period up the 80s with many albums and EPs. The album this is from, "Vibraciones Latinoamericanas", was one of the early records from Bolivia to really mix prog rock with traditional Andean sounds, and is famous for doing so. Wara are equally well-known for doing the same thing in the early seventies, they are coming up later.

EP: Arriba Y Encima Get this comp here: https://aftersabbath.blogspot.com/2023/10/151-Bolivia-60s-70s-Hard-Rock-Psych.html Here's what I consider to be a highlight of this volume, a very groovy and psychedelic hard-rocking tune with those great latin rhythms and impassioned performances, especially in the vocals. The sound quality of this is lacking, but it is the best quality version of the EP available at the moment, which is a very rare and sort-after record. Maybe one day a better vinyl audio extraction will appear, from a less-worn record. If so I will upgrade this volume with it. One of Manantial's main members was guitarist Félix Chávez, previously mentioned in Antares. Bassist Alfredo Negrón, drummer Victor “Pocho” Salgar (ex-Dhag Dhag's) and one of the best vocalists of this generation: Luis Fernando del Rio, completed the band. Two 4-track EPs were produced in the mid-'70s, "Sombras Negras" on Disco Exito Lyra, which the song appearing here is taken from, then a self-titled in 1976. Manantial split in 1978 when Luis Fernando del Rio left to join Orquesta Swingbaly, a prolific Bolivian tropical, salsa, merengue etc. collective that spanned four decades from the '60s to '90s, which Félix Chávez (and no doubt other names in this comp) also had some involvement with over the years. #hardrock #heavypsych #protometal #stonerrock #heavyprog #70srock #70smetal #metal #progressiverock #progrock #psychedelicrock #psychedelic #60srock #heavymetal #bluesrock #fuzzrock #stonermetal #freakbeat #stonerdoom #doommetal #doom #southernrock

EP: Oruro Get this comp here: https://aftersabbath.blogspot.com/2023/10/151-Bolivia-60s-70s-Hard-Rock-Psych.html This one starts with a nice fuzzing riff, and high-pitched vocals, which are a frequent distinction of latin psych. The Oruro EP this is taken from doesn't have a release date in Discogs, but seeing as all Grupo Trigal's other records documented there are from 1979 onwards, I would predict the sound of this EP makes it an earlier recording, and the indispensable Bolivan rock youtube channel Rock Hecho en Bolivia (link) seems to back this up, as 1971. Grupo Trigal still have a presence on Facebook #hardrock #heavypsych #protometal #stonerrock #heavyprog #70srock #70smetal #metal #progressiverock #progrock #psychedelicrock #psychedelic #60srock #heavymetal #bluesrock #fuzzrock #stonermetal #freakbeat #stonerdoom #doommetal #doom #southernrock

EP: Sol Y Quena Get this comp here: https://aftersabbath.blogspot.com/2023/10/151-Bolivia-60s-70s-Hard-Rock-Psych.html And on we go on to another of the heavy highlights of this set, fusing Bolivian sounds with the power of proto-metal / prog monsters like Deep Purple. To again quote Julio Cesar Moya - "The origin of this important group dates back to the second half of 1973, when the Salgado brothers, Belizario and René, of the popular group Four Star, and Carlos Salgado, lead guitarist and singer of Blue Star, joined together, with bassist Roberto Ojeda and drummer Rodolfo Aguilar. This gave life to a group whose creation myth revolved around avant-garde, European and North American rock, and the influence and inclination for progressive rock fused with Andean rhythms and melodies, leading to one of the first examples of Heavy Metal in Bolivia, whose main characteristic is the strident and distorted guitar, and a wailing voice." "Mandrill's impressive first record was presented in a special concert at the Cine Teatro Princesa in La Paz, along with excellent covers of important bands such as Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Focus & Yes. In an interview, Carlos Salgado says that in live performances he carried a live viper placed round his neck, as part of the intense performance that Mandrill offered the audience." Mandrill called it a day after their third EP, 1977's "Vol. 2". After that the members continued in tropical music groups such as Orquesta Anaconda, La Banda Del Loco and Marejada. In recent years Carlos Salgado has been active in events to honour bands that he was involved in like Blue Star, Mandrill and Anaconda, playing in a reformed Blue Star, covering Mandrill songs and inviting members of other bands appearing in this comp, Climax, Los Signos & Los Grillos for example, to play at shows with Blue Star. You can see some of this activity on Carlos's facebook (link) and a promotional facebook page of his (link). #hardrock #heavypsych #protometal #stonerrock #heavyprog #70srock #70smetal #metal #progressiverock #progrock #psychedelicrock #psychedelic #60srock #heavymetal #bluesrock #fuzzrock #stonermetal #freakbeat #stonerdoom #doommetal #doom #southernrock

Album: Underground And Beyond Read & get this comp here: https://aftersabbath.blogspot.com/2011/09/day-after-sabbath-50-dubia-excrementis.html Infos: “Underground And Beyond” was the debut album by cult proto-metal band LUCIFER WAS, containing songs written in 1971-72 but not recorded until 1997. Established in 1970 in Oslo, Lucifer Was were a powerful psychedelic hard-rock / hard-prog band that lasted until 1975. During those years, they gigged locally and played at some big festivals but they never got the chance to register any recording. The band hibernated until 1996 when they reunited again for a live concert. The chemistry was still there so they entered a recording studio and recorded in just 18 hours their first ever album, “Underground and Beyond”, featuring songs written in 1971-72. Their line-up included two flute players plus bass, drums and the killer lead guitar of Thore Engen.

Uploaded by Rich at http://aftersabbath.blogspot.com American rock and roll group, formed 1963 in Tacoma, Washington, counting as the pioneers of “proto-punk” and “garage rock”. They played in several local dance halls and in high schools, until Buck Ormsby, bass player of The Wailers, discovered them. They recorded two LPs with Ormsby that were released in 1965. They scored some minor hits before disbanding in 1969. Reunited in 2007, still actively performing as of 2015. They're renowned for their crude and brutal sound, for Gerry Roslie’s lyrics (hinting at drugs, evil women and disturbing mental states) and screams. Original lineup: Gerry Roslie (organ, piano, lead vocals), Rob Lind (saxophone, vocals, harmonica), Larry Parypa (lead guitar, vocals), Andy Parypa (bass guitar), Bob Bennett (drums) Lineup 2015: Gerry Roslie, Rob Lind, Larry Parypa, Freddie Dennis (bass guitar, lead vocals), Dusty Watson (drums) #hardrock #heavypsych #protometal #stonerrock #heavyprog #70srock #70smetal #metal #progressiverock #progrock #psychedelicrock #psychedelic #60srock #heavymetal #bluesrock #fuzzrock #stonermetal #freakbeat #stonerdoom #doommetal #doom #southernrock
