Don’t let the cheery mushroom and psychedelic rainbow themed cover art for this album fool you; Leaf Hound was one of the heaviest 1970s British psychedelic groups. They were big fans of distorting their blues grooves as far as was possible in 1971 and in doing so they helped spawn the whole genre of heavy psychedelic rock. Bands like Clutch, Judas Priest, and Wo Fat owe a lot of their sound to this album’s pioneering heaviness.
