Third and final album by this great US late '60s/early '70s acid rock band. Still retaining the heavy guitar psych power of the first two albums, this release is much more experimental with some excellent orchestration and trippy excursions into strangeness featuring, moogs weird effects, and layers of vocal harmonies. The overall sound is an epic balance between heavy and lush. Beautiful gatefold sleeve with 180 gram vinyl... On Akarma.
Both the debut and sophmore album by the fantastic 60's pysch/garage band "Damnation" somehow contained on 1 CD!! Two heavy psych monsters that really pack a punch, laden with wah-wah guitar and some storming powerhouse vocals these are easily the bands best two albums and are essential for fans of weighty psych. This two-fer is a bargain must!
Incredible 3 CD LP sized box set featuring all three Damnation albums in minature gatefold sleeves, a poster and a thick full colour booklet about the band. From Cleveland USA, Damnation released three storming heavy acid psych albums that ranged from all out acid rock through to orchestrated experimental progressive/psych. One of the best releases on Akarma.....
Exact reissue from Akarma in gatefold sleeve of killer US late '60s acid rock gem. Storming lead wah-wah guitar work, powerful lead vocals and vocal harmonies with melodic jammed out tracks. There is even a heavy psych version of "Last Train To Clarkesville"! Packaged in a gatefold sleeve this comes with a thick full colour booklet about the band and a poster. On 180 gram vinyl too!
Second great album by this US band released in 1970. Just as good as the bands debut with great guitar work, powerful vocals and some excellent songs. If you like your psych heavy and with loads of guitar start here. A real discovery..... packaged in a gatefold sleeve, and on 180g vinyl... On Akarma.
Led by charismatic vocalist Bill Constable (aka Adam Blessing), was an extraordinary band, able to go head-to-head with their more illustrious counterparts. The sound is equal parts psychedelic rock, hard rock, garage and blues, mixed at will for maximum aural impact. Adam Blessing’s vocals are sure-fire and aggressive, as evident in tracks like"Cookbook" while a certain likening to Jim Morrison can be drawn in "Morning Dew". The band’s blues side comes out in "You Don’t Love Me". while another well-executed cover is "Last Train To Clarksville" track written for the Monkees and here transformed into a hard rocker. This Akarma reissue features two bonus tracks, directly from the archives of Damnation guitarist Jim Quinn. "Painter" was previously released only as a very early demo and "You Got Me Floatin’" is a re-elaboration of the Hendrix track, which here is drawn out into a 21-min. live jam.Housed in a digi pack with detailed booklet.
Released in October 1970, Damnation’s second album contains a series of excellent tracks that confirm this Cleveland band’s incredible creativity. The album also has great cover art, featuring the group in action, with bassist Ray Benich in front of a mastodontic amp. This album was not planned ahead of time, rather spontaneously created in studio (with the tracks being the result of long jam sessions). With this album the band succeeded in confirming their already well-defined style, and earning a place among the great bands of the seventies. Thanks to guitarist Jim Quinn who opened his personal archives to Akarma, this reissue also features 5 previously unreleased bonus tracks recorded in 1972 a the Grand Ballroom Theatre, giving listeners a taste of what this band could do live.Housed in a 3 fold digi.
