An endless powerblast of screaming psych guitar wailing over a thunderous rhythm section, Earthless' Sonic Prayer has finally been repressed by Gravity, available again for hardcore stoner/psych freaks to bomb their mind with. I've been hooked on this album all week! Before singing to Tee Pee, Earthless released this acid-guitar feast on the legendary San Deigo hardcore label Gravity (along with another live 10" that is also available again and is listed in this week's new arrivals list). The disc features guitarist Isaiah Mitchell (ex-Nebula), bassist Mike Eginton (Electric Nazarene) and drummer Mario Rubalcaba (Rocket From The Crypt/Hot Snakes/Clikitat Ikatowi) playing two massive jams of heavy-ass psych rock that total a whopping 42 minutes, which means that each of these tracks features zonked-out extended playing that takes Mitchell's awesome Hendrix-style guitar playing way, way out into freeform psych guitar dirges and wah-wah loaded electric guitar trance states laid out over the massively pounding backbeats busted out by the Rubalcaba/Eginton rhythm section. The first track "Flower Travelin' Man" acknowledges the legendary Japanese psych outfit with an epic seventeen minute jam that starts out with Eginton playing a circular, Geezer Butler style bassline over a huge drumbeat that sounds alot like the one in Zep's "Immigrant Song", forming a pulsating rhythm that Mitchell unleashes his swirling solos and Hawkwind style cosmic fx over into infinity. Massive! The second track "Lost In The Cold Sun" takes us into even heavier territory, a distorted, Eastern-sounding guitar line playing over and over as the slow, doomy bass riff and dirgy drumming kicks in, eerie siren noises wailing off in the background. That central guitar riff transforms from meandering leads to Hendrixian shred and back again, always roped to the plodding, doomy rhythm as the song becomes heavier and darker and more spaced out, whizzing space rock fx swirling around, the riff turning all sludgy and Sabbath-like. If yer into heavy, druggy space rock, Hawkwind, trancey hypno-heaviness like Circle and Pharaoh Overlord, the early Comets On Fire stuff, and even Sleep, you'll no doubt dig everything that Earthless has put out. Great stuff!
