Granicus – Granicus (1973) [Full Album | Forgotten Heavy Psych Vol. 3]

Granicus – Granicus (1973) [Full Album | Forgotten Heavy Psych Vol. 3] Welcome to the third release of our series "Forgotten Heavy Psych" — dedicated to the rawest and most obscure gems of the early 70s underground. Today, we dive deep into a true holy grail of American heavy rock. [ THE STORY ] Formed in Cleveland, Ohio, Granicus released their self-titled debut (and sole 70s) masterpiece in 1973 on RCA Records. Often called America’s answer to Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, "Granicus" is a masterclass in proto-metal, heavy psych, and high-energy hard rock. Driven by the jaw-dropping, high-register vocals of Woody Leffel and explosive, dual-guitar wizardry, this album delivers a relentless, heavy, and dynamic sonic assault that remains a legendary treasure among vinyl collectors worldwide. [ THIS RELEASE ] This video features the complete, unaltered 1973 studio album. From the politically charged, hard-hitting opener "You're In America" to the sprawling, progressive 11-minute epic "Prayer", and the closing heavy groove of "Paradise", this is a flawless journey through the peak of the 70s heavy underground scene. [ AUDIO QUALITY ] All audio tracks for this video were sourced in high quality to preserve the authentic, heavy, and alive analog atmosphere of the early 70s rock scene. It captures the full punch, soaring vocals, and raw guitar power of Granicus's original vision without the compressed, lifeless feel of modern brickwalled mastering. [ TRACKLIST ] 00:00 — 1.
