Artist to Watch: Occult Wisdom

It doesn't take much thought to just amp up and make some tumultous noise. Especially for a trio like Occult Wisdom, a bare-bones proposition that celebrates the rock n' roll primitivism of the late sixties by invoking some killer bludgeoning riffs and thick overdubbed guitars. Like an early Black Sabbath recording, the production sounds rough-edged and smoggy, an element that further emphasizes their affinity for the era they affectionately revisit. A power trio in spirit, the pummeling solos and blues-rock licks are refreshingly outmoded, an open window that visibly lays bare the psychedelic hues of a bygone era that unquestionably needs more exposure when it's this good.
