Attila. The first band of some guy named Billy Joel. You can thank me later.
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
Have been a fan of hard rock/metal since high school. Always liked the heavy/physcadelic bands equally to the metal bands I grew up with Ozzy-Maiden and Scorpions ect. Recently on Youtube I discovered some heavy/physcadelic bands I was unaware of. 13th Floor Elevators-Five Day Rain-Probe Direction-The Hook and Vahalla. Are these bands albums worth persuing? Feel free to mention any other band that deserves to be heard. Look forward to your responses.

Armageddon was a supergroup of sorts, albeit very short-lived. The band was formed by bassist Louis Cennamo of Renaissance/Illusion fame, Bobby Caldwell on drums, from Johnny Winter and Captain Beyond, Martin Pugh, guitar, from Steamhammer and Keith Relf from The Yardbirds and Renaissance on vocals and harp. Their only album came out in 1975, and it's one of the better hard rock albums of the seventies. A buddy turned me on to them back in my life in the barracks USAF days. |
There used to be an early 1970’s Metal Band from Columbus, Ohio called ’The Godz’. They were very good but not all that prolific, so they supported a lot of main acts like ’Kiss’. Though not Metal, I saw Canned Heat at an outdoor festival a few years after ’Blind Owl’ Alan Wilson died. Bob ’The Bear’ Hite was a huge presence. That was a total biker event.
