Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Walpurgis' is the sole album by Swiss group The Shiver, combining organ-driven psychedelia with blues-rock and early progressive tendencies. The album's title and atmosphere draw on occult and seasonal imagery common in late-1960s heavy psych. Its rarity and regional origin have made it a cult title among European psychedelic rock collectors.
