Blue Cheer Artist Snapshot:

The Northern California band Blue Cheer injected the American rock sound of the 1960s with an ungodly dose of power and volume. Once dubbed "the World's Loudest Band," Blue Cheer presaged heavy metal and established the blueprint for an expansive version of psychedelia that has permeated rock's underground ever since. Though the band has had numerous releases over its long on-again/off-again career, the 1968 album VINCEBUS ERUPTUM remains its finest hour, and features a stunningly massive reworking of the Eddie Cochran classic, "Summertime Blues."

Review

Uncut (8/03, p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...VINCEBUS ERUPTUM is apocalyptic amp-damage all the way, rumbling, overdriven blues for the end of the world. OUTSIDE IN is more refined, but every bit as brain-blisteringly heavy..."
Magnet (p.108) - "[F]or sheer scuzz-rock viscosity, you couldn't beat VINCEBUS ERUPTUM. Thirty-two minutes' worth of proto-metal, proto-punk, proto-Sub Pop skronk -- did we mention scuzz?"

The thing to remember about Blue Cheer is that when VINCEBUS ERUPTUM came out in 1968, it seemed the height of effrontery until the Stooges showed up and took things even further. Who did these three guys think they were, harshing everyone's mellow with the loudest, noisiest, heaviest guitar thud anybody had ever heard until then, and turning classics like Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" and Mose Allison's "Parchment Farm" into sludgy, distorted riff-fests? So not only were they arguably the first heavy metal band, but you could also make a case for them being among the first punk rockers.
