Episode Notes

Welcome back my friends to Ep. 145 of the InObscuria Podcast! This week our rock n’ roll grave robbers share a tab and fall deep into the 1970s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal. This is the fourth volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff!

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the: LOST category, as all of these recordings, occurred between 1970 – 1972. However, some of these bands didn’t actually see the release of this material until the 90s and the 2000s! As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.

Songs this week include:

  1. Dust - “Suicide” from Hard Attack (1972)
  2. Blackwater Park - “Mental Block” from Dirt Box (1972)
  3. Alamo - “Question Raised” from Alamo (1971)
  4. Poobah - “MR. DESTROYER” from Let Me In (1972)
  5. Jerusalem - “When The Wolf Sits” from Jerusalem (1972)
  6. Night Sun - “Nightmare” from Mournin’ (1972)
  7. Black Cat Bones - “Save My Love” from Barbed Wire Sandwich (1970)
