LP version. Debut album by hard prog heavy psych French band. Lacerating riffs with massive and powerful organ sound. Hard prog heavy what? This hybrid music style between prog rock and psych rock born in Birmingham and in the English Midlands at the end of the '60s is still alive? Yes, Moundrag members Camille and Colin from Paimpol, Brittany are giving a new life to the genre. Camille plays Hammond organ (Deep Purple, does that ring a bell?), Colin plays drums, and both of them sing. Moundrag clearly shows that you don't need a guitar to make rock music. They have everything to have a massive and powerful sound: the Hammond organ sound wrecks everything in its path like hurricanes, the drums rumble like a storm, the vocals are dubbed, harmonized, highlighted, in that vintage rock style that has been enjoying a revival for the last few years. From their instruments to their look, everything is vintage, except them. However, they seem to have come straight from a 1970s psychedelic trip. In any case, they didn't forget to bring back the wild energy of the bands of that time to compose their own music. Bold tracks with lacerating riffs, which evoke ELP, Atomic Rooster, and Deep Purple while adding their personal touch. Hic Sunt Moundrages is the result of a journey where music, imagination and visuals unite as one, transporting you into a transcendent universe.
