High Tide-Sea Shanties (1969)
Posted in Psych Metal on Oct 13th, 2009 No Comments »
High Tide are certainly among the forefathers of heavy metal; as early as the late Sixties, they rocked heavier than almost anybody else. They are certainly among the forefathers of Goth - Hill’s pessimistic, depressive lyrics and intonations copped directly from Jim Morrison and married to this mammoth heaviness point right there sharper than almost anything else at the time, apart from maybe some proggish stuff like early King Crimson. And the trippy guitar-heavy space-rock of Hawkwind certainly owes these guys a thing or two as well.
