plenty of Paul Chain's music has psychedelic edges to it...
I agree w/ Tomas,, those Cirith Ungol demos are amazing and very psychedelic..
Cirith Ungol is one of my all time favorite Metal groups!
Psychedelic Metal Recommendations?

I'm not that familiar with Paul Chain's work though, i'll maybe check him out.
Any particular album you'd recommend as a starting point?
I think everybody would agree saying that Detaching From Satan is Paul Chains best album. Then he released very uneven stuff (he has released complete albums made from imporvisation that I think are not metal but pure prog rock, but I haven't heard any of those), but I would reccomend almost anything he released in the 80s (though I didn't like Opera 4th and Life And Death).
Alcahest is one of my favorite of Paul Chain's more Metal oriented material...
early Paul Chain solo (detaching from satan, etc) and his time in the early days of Death SS are full of raw and blazing hard "psych" rock aspects.
some of the experimental and improv albums bore me, though they all have their moments, but many of the jams and experiments carry on for waay too long..

Another top tip folks, thank you!
I downloaded "Detaching From Satan" the other night, and it's absolutely brilliant.
I'm a bit of a latecomer to the mainland European stuff from back in the day thanks in no small part to the xenephobia & prejudice of the uk based Metal press back then.
They simply didn't cover European bands except to sneer at them.
Even established bands such as Trust, Scorpions, Accept, Baron Rojo etc were treated as ludicrous foreign upstarts whilst almost every English and American band was lauded as the next big thing.
So, again, my many thanks to you all for helping fill in these important gaps in my musical education, and for helping right the wrongs done in the name of "journalism".
