Hailing from late-’60s Detroit, Black Merda (pronounced « Murder ») were both aesthetically and musically way ahead of their time. When most black groups (including Parliament/ Funkadelic) were still sporting suits, singing about love and using a horn section, Black Merda had already become a tight guitar-heavy freak-funk four piece. By weaving guitar rock and psychedelia into soul and R&B they were the gods of the underground « black rock » movement which fell somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Parliament and MC5. But it wasn’t just about the music, the message was just as important.
