The Lowdown:

The cool folks over at Helmet Lady Records asked me to check out the 2015 album - Before The Fog Covers The Mount from Spanish Psych Rockers - 1886. This is another album that has passed me by but I'm pretty glad I've checked it out. As this album is superb with 1886 creating a heavy barrage of Psych/Hard Rock Riffs. 

Though there's much more to 1886's sound as they delve into the world of  Heavy Blues with subtle hints of Space/Stoner Rock being played for your entertainment. 

Standout tracks include: Witch Hunter, Fuego Salvaje, The Path Through The Green Forest and The Seed Of Feed. All great tracks with the band showing quite a flair in creating highly addictive moments of psychedelic rock. 

I've talked long enough. Just listen to the album below and if you like what you hear, head over to Helmet Lady Records and buy a copy on Vinyl.
