yeah man, it's bloody heavy (purple)

Yeah Man, It's Bloody Heavy!! is the first volume in Rise Above Relics' celebrated archival series dedicated to uncovering the heaviest and most obscure British underground rock recordings of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Rather than focusing on established names, the compilation shines a light on forgotten bands whose music survived only on acetates, demo reels and live tapes, many of which are officially released here for the very first time.

Painstakingly restored from rare source material, these recordings capture the birth of heavy rock, proto-metal and psychedelic blues at a time when countless local bands were experimenting with crushing riffs and dark themes inspired by the emerging hard rock scene. Featuring previously unheard tracks from across England and Scotland, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into a hidden chapter of British heavy music history and is an essential listen for collectors of underground hard rock and early doom.
