Acid Mothers Temple

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

After performing with such bands as Toho Sara, Ohkami No Jikan, Musica Transonic, and Mainliner, Japanese guitarist Makoto Kawabata decided to continue his musical explorations by bringing together likeminded individuals to create trippy psychedelic freak-outs inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Krautrock, and '70s progressive hard rock. Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (Underground Freak Out) was founded in 1996 as a "soul collective." It's not a commune in the full sense since the members don't all live together, but it is based o...[more]

 

 

Acid Mother's Temple's Glorify Astrological Martyrdom is sure to appeal to the myriad AMT fans who have made Crystal Rainbow Pyramid a new fan favorite. Professionally recorded mega-riffage for a super defined clean sound. Kawabata and company deliver this focused rock explosion full of hyper repetitive heavy hooks and freaked-out, pitched-up vocals. Cover art by Seldon Hunt.

Chances are, one tenth of a person out of every ten in the street--one in a hundred, to the layman--has tinnitus, a condition in which the sufferer hears a ringing or pulsing sound not caused by any external stimulus. Most often tinnitus drives people up the wall, and, consequently, to seek professional medical or psychological assistance.

Japanese freakout drone wizards Acid Mothers Temple return for their 3rd release on Ace Fu (and their 20-something-th in general). This time the soul collective takes an hour plus crack at exploring the Daimoku Buddhist chant Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo Slowly but steadily piling on the guitars, keyboards and theremin, Acid Mothers take you on a journey to the center of the 'drone zone.' Much like their American contemporaries Sunn O))) Acid Mothers construct massive castles of sound but unlike their count   [ read more ]

LIMITED! A super wild, punishingly dark slab of experimental psychedelic hell where fuzz blasted, ultra riffing and hypnotic speed guru guitar chaos - courtesy of Mr. Kawabata Makoto - meet early Amon Duul-influenced druggy, acoustic, mantric folk experimentalisms and eastern drones from below. The scent of sulphur fills the air and brings on the Japanese psychedelic inferno!

Japan's psychedelic rangers are back! "Mantra of Love" is destined to be a classic release in the expanding catalogue of one of today's most exciting psychedelic ensembles. The recording is made up of two tracks. "La Le Lo" is a traditional Occitan piece largely based around the very melodic vocals of Cotton Casino. The recording's 15-minute closing track, "L'Ambition dans le Miroir," is a melodic and easy listening piece, with spacey electronics and great guitar lines. "Mantra of Love" is the perfect relea   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. "Third PSF album from the Nagoya-based (but always heavenly-bound) Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O., led by Japan's current king of the long-hairs and mystic rock-guitar guru Makoto Kawabata (also of Musica Transonic, Mainliner, Toho Sara). Their previous releases were delirious communal Gong/Hawkwind patchouli collisions, colorful as a Life with the Hippie Jetsons cartoon, but with an acid punch that proved their music was beyond any idea of pastiche or irony.
