Toad – Toad (1971, Switzerland)

Toad – Toad (1971, Switzerland)

A raw and electrifying blend of heavy psych, blues-rock and proto-prog, driven by Vic Vergeat’s fiery guitar work and a thick, live-sounding production.
The album shifts between explosive riffing, extended improvisations and darker, moodier passages that add emotional depth beneath the heaviness.
Despite its power, the music remains melodic and dynamic, revealing a surprising sophistication in the guitar phrasing and rhythmic interplay.
A cult European classic—intense, gritty and one of the most essential heavy-psych/proto-prog albums of the early ’70s.

Toad – Toad (1971, Switzerland)

Un estallido potente de heavy-psych y proto-prog, recomendadísimo para fans de Leaf Hound, May Blitz y los primeros Groundhogs.
Las guitarras abrasivas de Vic Vergeat combinan la crudeza del blues-rock con atmósferas oscuras al estilo High Tide.
Pese a la energía bruta, el álbum mantiene un sorprendente sentido melódico y una estructura cercana al heavy-prog británico.
Un clásico europeo del underground—férreo, eléctrico y uno de los discos más esenciales del heavy-prog 71.
