Psychedelic LP's

   Valhalla ( 1969)

Heavy Rock/Symphonic rock band from Long Island. Valhalla's only album was a rather haphazard mix of end-of-the-'60s psychedelic and heavy rock influences. Even if it's not particularly outstanding or original, however, it has its enjoyable aspects, especially for those who enjoy late-'60s combinations of bluesy hard organ and bluesy hard rock guitar. In its slightly overreaching, over-serious feel with a hint of religious pomposity, it's often slightly reminiscent of early Deep Purple, and more distantly, especially in the fairly penetrating organ, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Graham Bond, and Lee Michaels.
