Maybe "Acid Rock" or "Proto-Metal" works as a better thread title? Not sure....
The differences between "Progressive Rock," "Acid Rock" and "Heavy Psych" from the original 1968-mid 70's era is alot of genre hair-splitting, i would agree.
"Heavy Psych" describes the more underground groups for me, but not always. Heh.

One takes pictures of the things one truly loves.

The is a lot of "heavy psych" that falls into the Krautrock genre, too.

Oh and libertycaps, some of your pictures aren't showing up in your posts.

Oh, well. I see them. Blame Google Images, not me. Sure. "Krautrock" yet another genre tagable for any/all German bands here.
Night Sun def one of those. Completely esoteric 'n essential early 70's HEAVY. Very lucky to come across my OG Polydor Canadian pressing. IIRC, not released in the USA back in the day.
Blodwyn Pig from the bloody UK a more Blues Rock/Pub Rock type outfit, but subjectively "Heavy Psych" as well. As always: YMMV.

EBB have always struck me as Heavy Prog, not so Psych. @ least that's how we "billed them" @ our LP and other sources "rare albums" lists in the 70s and 80s and 90s. More like May Blitz but w/ (decidedly) less "jazz" leanings.

My comment re: E. Broughton Band goes for Blod. Pig.

Link to the RYM description of "Heavy Psych" and it's as good as any other. At least "Heavy Psych" is a more widely recognized genre tag than "Wild Early 70's Hard Rock." Not that i have a big problem with that thread. Heh.
