SHADOW KINGDOM RECORDS will reissue the self-titled record from heavy psychedelic, 60s-era band STONE GARDEN this November with five bonus tracks.
A posting on the official record label`s website reads: "The is the first of more albums to come that will be released under the Shadow Kingdom label that I feel fans of Heavy Metal should own (from the 60's/70's) in your collection. If you're still searching for something heavier than BLACK SABBATH in the 60's, just forget it, it's just not out there… BUT… for the late 60's there wasn't much heavier than this amazing US Heavy Psychedelic / Acid Rock! For the time it doesn't get any HEAVIER than this!
If this band would have played Woodstock, they would have blown the bell-bottom trousers off of most of the bands and people there with their heavy-fuzzed out guitar blasting riffs, garage-y drums, great catchy vocals and intricate songwriting. Fans of BLUE CHEER, BANG, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, DEEP PURPLE, JIMI HENDRIX, FRANK ZAPPA, IRON BUTTERFLY, STEPPENWOLF, THE DOORS, HIGH TIDE, 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS, (heavier) BEATLES, CREAM, (of course) BLACK SABBATH, and so on, need to look into this.
This re-issue contains 5 extra bonus songs not included on the past re-issues until now! A special thank you goes out to Paul Speer, Rich and John Haupt for helping me out with this."
