SONG OF THE DAY: Helios Creed - Monster Lust (1989)


Helios Creed is known for his distinctive guitar sound, which he created while "listening to Black Sabbath on LSD on headphones when he was a teenager".  The acid-punk outsider was a prominent member of the prolific San Francisco band Chrome, a group who infused their brand of alien-post-punk with industrial, psychedelic rock, and Krautrock influences.  "Superior Catholic Finger" was released in 1989 as Helios Creed's second solo album, and saw the mad genius following up on the stripped down acid-punk style of his brilliant debut, "X-Rated Fairy Tales".  "Monster Lust" kicks off this album of true outsider music that is indebted heavily to the Residents and visionary weirdo Geza X.
