Album Notes & Community Reviews

Blending the sludgy, doom-laden riffs of Black Sabbath with the raw, chaotic energy of punk rock, 'Ultramega OK' provided an early blueprint for the Seattle grunge sound. The record is heavy, psychedelic, and highly eclectic, featuring Chris Cornell's already formidable vocal range cutting through walls of distorted guitar.
