Kyuss: Blues For the Red Sun
Blues For the Red Sun
An excellent and deep album from '92. Guitar World voted this the
best unheard album of 1992. The album rocks from start to finish with
a solid heavy feel.
Gabriel Lilliehook reviewed
the Blues for the Red Sun album on his Nineties Hardrock page. There is
also some good info in there about the Obsessed, the band Scott Reeder was
in before Kyuss.
Here's a feeble attempt at some lyric
