1971 saw Dull Knife, another Krautrock band that released one album and disappeared from the scene release "Electric Indian." Dull Knife (not to be confused with the band from Brighton formed in with members of The Pretty Things) is heavy guitar driven hard rock/prog (or "Rog" as I like to call it) with some awesome organ giving it a Deep Purple kind of twist. The vocals are often sung using a lot of volume and a distortion effect. It makes for some really heavy moments. The Germans really had this style nailed and this is further proof that Germany was churning out some of the hardest, heaviest music of the time. The cover art was a bit controversial depicting a knife stabbing a torso.
