Heavy Psych combines the heavy, droning riffs of Hard Rock and Metal with the psychedelic sounds and trance-like melodies of Psychedelic Rock. This genre is characterized by distorted guitars, long, atmospheric jams, and a hypnotic, sometimes almost trance-like soundscape. With bands like Earthless, Hawkwind, Electric Moon, and Samsara Blues Experiment, Heavy Psych offers a profound journey through driving rhythms, psychedelic effects, and seemingly endless guitar solos. The music is heavy and intense while simultaneously embodying the freedom and boundless experimentation of Psychedelic Rock. Let yourself be carried away by the fuzz-laden riffs and cosmic sounds of Heavy Psych and experience a genre that transports body and mind into weightless soundscapes.
