Ecstatic Vision to Release Sonic Praise on June 30
Initially signed to Relapse on the strength of their first demo, Philly heavy psych trio Ecstatic Vision will make their full-length debut in the heat of summer with Sonic Praise. The album is available to preorder now and follows a spring tour the three-piece undertook with YOB and Enslaved — because if you’re going to do something, god damn it, do it right — and arrives with a sense of intrigue as to how the band’s penchant shown onstage for rhythmic intricacy and jamming spiritualism will translate to a studio setting. The album is five songs, so I’m guessing it translates to a couple pretty extended tracks.
No problem there. Sonic Praise is out June 30 on Relapse and the PR wire has details, a stream of the song “Don’t Kill the Vibe” and those preorder links for those who like to be ahead of the game.

ECSTATIC VISION DETAIL DEBUT ALBUM ‘SONIC PRAISE’ OUT ON RELAPSE RECORDS JUNE 30TH
Philadelphia’s Ecstatic Vision explode onto the scene with one of the most thrilling guitar driven records in a long, long time. Sonic Praise weaves the guitar heroics of the 70’s heavy classics of UFO and Hawkwind with the rhythmic intensity of Sun Ra and Fela Kuti. Massive riffs vibe seamlessly with deep rhythms to create one of the most original and best heavy psych debuts in years. The album is out June 30th on Relapse Records.
Recorded at various studios throughout Philadelphia, the group’s debut is an acid-tinged mix of trance inducing, primitive African tribal and heavy psych a la Hawkwind, Goat and Amon Düül II. The band formed in early 2014 and have already played numerous high profile shows like Pallbearer, Georgia’s Meltasia Festival alongside Black Lips, Nik Turner’s Hawkwind and toured North America with YOB and Enslaved.
