ETERNAL ELYSIUM  Spiritualized D  CD   (Meteor City)   9.98
Spiritualized D IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Just grabbed the last few copies of this now out-of-print stoner/psych/metal freakout! Spiritualized D was the first domestic release for Eternal Elysium, a trio of Sabbath-worshipping, longhaired Japanese hippie metallers that bring the fucking monster riffage with this 9 song album. Though this disc is completely consumed by heavy-duty pot fumes, it's not just about the 70's acid metal revival - Eternal Elysium combine the sounds of classic Japanese 1970's psychedelia a la Flower Travellin' Band, Japanese psych rippers White Heaven, awesome New Wave Of British heavy Metal axework (indeed, the disc includes Eternal Elysium's crushin' cover of Iron Maiden's "Innocent Exile" that originally appeared on Meteor City's Maiden tribute compilation, and which sounds very little like the original!), Santana, and massive doom metal riffage a la Saint Vitus n' Trouble with their Deep Purple/Cream/Black Sabbath power blues worship and come out on the other end with one hell of a crushing psych album, fronted by Yukito Okazaki's soaring pipes! Fans of Monster Magnet's Spine Of God, Kyuss, Church Of Misery, Boris in boogie mode, and even Electric Wizard will bug out over Eternal Elysium if you haven't heard 'em yet...this shit is ridiculously heavy, think Melvins heavy, but super trippy and "out", with bell sounds and swing jazz and reggae passages and weird echo effects and electronic noises cutting though their thick dope haze, all wrapped up with awesome songwriting that makes every freaking song stick in yer head for weeks. Holy shit, do I love these guys. And check out the final unlisted track, a fifteen-minute-plus instrumental free folk/psych jam in the vein of Ghost or Taj Mahal Travellers, raising a dreamy mist of zonked out temple bells, wind chimes, tablas, matsuribue, and didjeridoo that closes the album out in a smoke wreathed zoneout. Man, this seriously recommended to anyone into super-heavy psychedelia and the most swingin' drugdoom, BUT we were only able to get a mere six copies of this awesome album, the last copies available, so if you need this classic disc as bad as we did, move fast!
