As the hippie movement hurdled towards its
emanate demise, bad vibes infiltrated the
rock world. Tainted LSD, loud motorcycles,
and a series of brutal deaths spawned
inspiration for guitar-wielding teenagers
across the globe. Implementing deafening
fuzz and satanic screams to create their proto-
metal monstrosities, short-lived stoner
bands pressed their lysergic experiments in
microscopic quantities before blacking out
entirely. Lifted from the ashes of the acid
rock hell fire are 18 distorted tales of dope
fiends, pill poppers, and the baddest of trips.
Deluxe 2LP comes housed in a blacklight
poster-style jacket, replete with flocking and
lysergic neon. 24 pages documenting the
creeping existential dread of the hard rock
underground are tucked into the gatefold
pocket alongside two dead dinosaur-heavy
LPs. Compact disc is packaged in standard
Numero slipcase, with digipak and 40-page
book, limited to 2000 copies.
