¡Tengo una clara y evidente debilidad por las bandas nórdicas! Y lo digo abiertamente: ¡soy un adicto confeso! Hay una profusión de bandas y estilos totalmente atrevidos; no cabe duda de que existen géneros de rock and roll para todos los gustos. Y hablando específicamente de Noruega, tenemos una gran cantidad de bandas que atraen fácilmente a muchos principiantes, como Aunt Mary, Titanic, Lucifer Was, una de mis favoritas, pero no podemos olvidar la historia de otra banda que, aunque no tan desconocida, merece estar entre las grandes bandas poco conocidas cuyo sonido no es tan popular. Me refiero a RUPHUS.

Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
