Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. are a legendary Japanese psychedelic rock collective led by guitarist Kawabata Makoto, known for transforming space rock, krautrock, noise, improvisation, and cosmic freakouts into sprawling, mind-bending live performances. Formed in the mid-1990s out of the larger Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective, the band has built a vast catalog and cult international following through relentless experimentation, extended jams, hypnotic repetition, and towering walls of guitar. Equal parts ritual, improvisation, and psychedelic overload, Acid Mothers Temple remain one of underground rock’s most singular and unpredictable live experiences.
