There was going to be a golden road of devotion where manic metal would run side by side with blissed out electornic landscapes and he was going to ride it out. Never mind that such a vision made shit sense in the new wave drenched clubs of Tokyo and Osaka at the end of the '70's. To get to that place, that he dubbed Acid Mothers Temple, he would spend the '80's and '90's with a myriad of other ensembles (including the fabled Toho Sara) crafting his vision. All roads led to this careening large ranked ensemble that were nuttier than Gong, as rabid as Funkadelic, as hairy as the Mothers of Invention and rampaging with hard-edged noisy psychedelic music like the best Hawkwind records. This last part was important as many misguided souls thought that psychedelia meant sludgy, sopored tempos catering to lapsed motor responses. Surely that ain't what Hendrix or Can had in mind, don't you think? (For an even more out-of-control noise rampage, see AMT brother/sister band Mainliner). Makoto has led this loose ensemble of a few dozen musicians and farmers (?!) since 1996 (already with about a dozen releases, including the recent New Geometric World on Squealer), recently coming to the American shores. Seen in person, AMT's guitar roars, synth squiggles, and unleashed momentum (though missing the heavenly fem voices) were even more vivid- a pulverizing experience maybe only matched by their homies in the Boredoms. Bookcasing their touchdown in planet Brooklyn, I e-mail exchanged inquisitions with Makoto about life, loves, and philosophy. About Magick Potion Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify Hailing from the rural outskirts of Baltimore, consisting of founder, Dresden Boulden on Guitar and Vocals, Triston Grove on Bass, and Jason Kendall on Drums. Magick Potion is a hard hitting heavy rock trio channeling the raw energy and heavy grooves of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Clearly hooked on the likes of underrated groups such as Blue Cheer, The Amboy Dukes and Budgie, the band crafts a sound that fuse’s heavy rock’s gritty riffs with contrasting moments boarding on psychedelia. With roaring guitars, thunderous drums and hard driving bass lines Magick Potion conjures a vibe that is both nostalgic yet contemporary and original. Their music is a bridge to an era where rock was rebellious, loud and unfiltered, yet they infuse it with a spirit all their own.
