Mind Control

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats' second album for Rise Above Records wraps lysergic psych-rock in a horror-movie aesthetic, with fuzzy guitars and occult-tinged vocals that recall early Black Sabbath filtered through '70s acid rock excess. The band’s hypnotic, riff-driven approach to psychedelic rock earned them a devoted cult following, and Mind Control solidifies their place within Rise Above’s roster of heavy, groove-laden psych acts. Vinyl-only release captures the murky, analog warmth essential to their deadpan occult imagery.
