I know metal is its own genre, but would it be fair to call this heavy psych?

i know metal is its own genre, but would it be fair to call this heavy psych?

it's a transitional record

you mean stoner metal/doom right?

no heavy psych is much more darker and distorted than regular psych

no

Captain Beyond is heavy psych. Also objectively a better album than any Black Sabbath album

I've always though of sabbath as psych but then again its like the difference between eighties rap and modern trap

>the cover is literally a photo of a "war pig"

its just doom metal

all doom metal is like that

nah

we get it, you just found out about captain beyond

darker and more distorted than sabbath? cant be that much darker

you should probably listen to more music bud

you dont have to be condescending

I agree, though Iron Man is without a doubt a 'classic metal' song. And Electric Funeral is the birth of doom metal. The rest of the album is kind of psych/prog
Come on man, Master of Reality? Sabbath Bloody Sabbath?

just being real with you

I fucking love Capitan Beyond, but come on now.
Iron Claw and Bang are good early metal bands
Orang-Utan and Wicked Lady are good heavy pysch

you're not being real you're being a dick, calling me "bud" in a very condescending manner, ive listened to heavy psych and darker music before and after black sabbath

the point is black sabbath was a very drug oriented band at least they were earlier in their career, and it shows on their early records, especially in the distortion and the leslie speaker on songs like planet caravan, purposeful creating a sinister dark but trippy atmosphere

heavy psych is still much darker than black sabbath's material, also consists of more improvisation and black sabbath hardly ever does that

you shouldn't take me calling you "bud" so seriously either

>heavy psych is still much darker than black sabbath's material,
it being darker does not negate it from being psych, if anything the pop appeal to black sabbath makes it MORE psych oriented...

There is no up or down
Your truth is the only master
Death is made by the living
Pain is only intense to you
The sun shines every day
Freedom Freedom

whoa yeah, black sabbath NEVER wrote anything close to as dark as that...

yes

not at all

yes. much better. not to say black sabbath is even bad at all, they are amazing but captain beyond is even better

captain beyond is god tier

it negates it from being heavy psych though, BS is more doom metal anyway

doom metal is psych...

they're too different things senpai

what's the difference between heavy psych and acid rock?

black sabbath started that genre, and they wre a drug band, because they wre making drug music, doom metal is rooted in psych and drugs

I always thought of the first two Black Sabbath albums as having a Jazz vibe.

Listen to Space Ritual by Hawkwind, and Live Dead by The Grateful Dead back to back. That should answer your question.
