I'm not going to post their album Bloodlust because they seem to be pretty vigilant about having links taken down, but you should definitely check these guys out if you're into 60s-70s horror movies about drugs and cults or their acid-drenched musical accompaniment.
Formed in the old wastelands of witchery and paranoia, Cambridgeshire band Uncle Acid and the deadbeats deliver the new sound of 60's terror. This popular beat combo crawled from its secluded hideout in 2009 to record their debut album, 'Vol. 1' for Killer Candy Records. With a limited release in 2010, the album was warmly received with the track 'Witches Garden' appearing on a Classic Rock Magazine cover CD.
The group's second album Blood Lust (2011) was recorded in a dilapidated barn known as The Slaughter House. Using old fuzz pedals and broken amps to create a lo fi saturated sound, the entire album was laid to rest on tape in the space of four cold months. Blood Lust tells the story of a drug crazed sadist who embarks on a witchfinding killing spree before meeting his own demise at the withered hands of Satan. The bands intention was to create an audio equivalent of a 60's exploitation horror film. After a steady start in sales, demand for the album eventually grew beyond all expectations with all pressings quickly selling out, including a Rise Above vinyl pressing of 350 which sold out in just 24 hours.
This bastard band of weirdos will plunder on into the 2012 apocalypse with festival dates and other live appearances in the UK and Europe. The acid nightmare has truly begun...
i waited with trepidation waiting for the vocals to kick in praying they weren't faggy, audible sigh of relief that they aren't
very good stuff here

I've got a simliar question: which, if any, specific movies are the clips in these videos taken from? When I first saw I'll Cut You Down I assumed it was all original footage, but now that I've found the other one I'm thinking they're assembled.
I haven't seen much Giallo, but what I have is great.

as a dude in a band this pisses me off. i know its kvlt and all that bullshit to do limited runs. To an extent Im guilty of the same thing from those tapes I released last year being that there were only so many made and they sold out after a couple shows. i did make it a point to post the shit online for free. Ive seen bands do limited cd-r or tapes and give them away free to close friends and the next thing you know those people are ripping fans off on ebay with something handed to them for free. that aint hittin on shit.

I've pretty much stopped following this entire vest metal scene.
shit's getting out of hand.

had no idea what you were talking about so i googled vest metal and saw that metalsucks article.. pretty funny
does this mean electric wizard isn't cool anymore?
these guys seem head and shoulders above those bands to me with their songwriting/vocals.. having more rock n roll mixed in with the occult 70s doom helps a lot.. just old fashioned drug music

Fuck that metalsucks article, though. Those dudes are so smarmy and trolly that you can never really tell when they're being serious sometimes. That might actually be the point. A couple of those bands are awesome.
But why did they decide to call it Vest Metal? I've been seeing vests with patches on them my entire life. They came into the scene during the Thrash craze.

actually when that article came out i was sure it was about new wave retro thrash bands like gama bomb and municipal waste, but i was wrong and confused of why they didn't mention jex thoth
anyway, mind control is great, feels like it will get hella spins over the summer

metalsucks are generally terrible but it's a funny term.
I was big into Witchcraft when they came out. They are genuine losers who had a Pentagram cover band when it wasn't cool, and their first couple albums were really good, but there is so much "occult rock" coming out now that I just don't want to even try to follow anymore.
granted, these guys are pretty good. but if someone tells me to listen to Ghost or Graveyard one more time I'm going to stab them with a mercyful fate cassette.

they are from the 80s can't really count them as part of the vest metal movement.
I could never get into them because of the vocals though.
A couple of those bands are awesome.
