Collection: Acid Rock

Acid Rock emerged as a potent fusion of psychedelic experimentation and hard-edged rock in the late 1960s, spawning a diverse array of subgenres that continue to evolve today. This genre is characterized by its mind-bending soundscapes, extended improvisations, and often heavy, distorted guitar work. From the bluesy roots of Psychedelic Blues-Rock to the heavier sounds of Proto-Metal and Retro Metal, Acid Rock's influence spans continents and decades. It encompasses the folk-tinged Psychedelic Folk, the expansive sounds of Classic Psychedelic Rock, and the culturally infused Raga Rock. Regional variations like Japanese Psychedelic, Australian Psych, and Scandinavian offshoots (Norwegian Psychedelic and Swedish Psychedelic Rock) showcase the genre's global appeal. The Bosstown Sound and German Stoner Rock represent unique local interpretations, while Heavy Psych pushes the boundaries of intensity. Whether it's the cosmic explorations of Canadian Psychedelic or the raw power of Proto-Metal, Acid Rock continues to captivate listeners with its kaleidoscopic sonic adventures.
