COMING SOON: Black Mountain - Wilderness Heart

Black Mountain - Old Fangs 

Black Mountain - Hair Song

Wilderness Heart, the new album by Black Mountain, is packed with succinct rock songs that pulse and pound with startling precision: it pummels you and you ask for more. This is arguably the band's tightest, most concentrated venture, but there's still plenty of raw rock energy at work. "It's our most metal and most folk oriented record so far," McBean says. "I'm not gonna say it's our best record or the album that we always dreamt of making 'cause that's what everyone says. It's all about where we were at the time the machines were rolling. You can't control the electricity or how your limbs were moving that day. You have to erase the visions and just go along for the ride."

VIDEO: Black Mountain - Wucan

"There's one song, Wucan, that's about the dance that children do at a funeral around the fire while the bodies are being burnt to protect the spirits from the evil people who try and pull their souls down to purgatory - it feels like a lot of the record is about trying to break free of all the things that tie you down and keep you from doing what you want."

 

Black Mountain - S/T

I've just got back in from a bit of Christmas shopping and start work in an hour, so thought I'd have a cup of tea and listen to something I haven't heard for a while. My random selection ended up being Black Mountain's debut album from 2005. If you've never heard this album, do yourself a favour and check it out on Spotify (Black Mountain) or buy it, as it can be picked up for next to nothing! If you're a fan of anything on the heavier side from the 60s or 70s then look no further.
