Bulbous Creation - You Won’t Remember Dying (1994): Better late than never…


Talk about Bulbous Creation is the same as talk about a great finding. A relic found in the middle of the limbo and rescued by a small label called Rockadelic. It’s estimated that You Won’t Remember Dying had been recorded between the late sixties and early seventies. However, the produced material remained shelved. It just got released in 1994. 

It’s very hard to find more information about the band. It’s speculated that they are from Kansas, United States. Just it... Not even the names of the members are known. It includes the record cover. The sinister picture was drawn by Rockadelic

Too bad this album wasn’t released with the dignity that Bulbous Creation deserved, because the band showed great skills and deserved a professional sound quality.

Would you remember?

Those guys play a dense Hard Rock pulled to the Heavy Psych. With a very dark atmosphere, it’s possible to see a little of Black Sabbath in their early days. The lyrics are also heavy, covering topics such as Vietnam War, heroin and Satanism. Still, some moments are lighter, with smooth Blues passages. 

Apparently there are two vocalists, the first one with a more severe and sober tone and the second one with an acute and nasal voice. I enjoy more the first one. The second one exaggerates in certain screams and screeches your brain. 

From the peaceful Stormy Monday's Blues, trough the tenebrous Heavy Psych from Satan, You Won’t Remember Dying is a treat, a disc that unfortunately was hidden for a long time among dusty tapes and old recordings. But, around 25 years later, it had the deserved attention. 
Better late than never, is not what they say? 

“Do you want to die before your children reach the age?”

  1. I can't find the lyrics to 'End of the Page.' This, indeed is a rare gem.
