Thunder And Roses - King Of The Black Sunrise (1969 us, fine garage psych blues rock)



Thunder and Roses was an early power trio from Philadelphia USA, recorded “King of the Black Sunrise” and released by United Artists Records in 1969. This garage rock album is a hard rockin’, ultra heavy, Hendrix-inspired, slab of bluesy psychedelia. Track one, the classic “White Lace and Strange”, was covered by Nirvana in a radio broadcast that is included on their box set “With The Lights Out”.

The trio pay their respects to Hendrix with a strong version of Red House, then lay waste with a blitzkrieg of superb heavy psychedelic guitar like Cream, they never let the blues influences swamp the rock. Chris Bond went on to play for and produce Hall and Oates.

    Excellent post Marios. Μήπως έχεις το 6 Feet Under? Το πήρα σε βινύλιο αλλά τα βινύλιο το ακούς μόνο στο σπίτι. Thanks
