Riff-laden, powerful rock. Re-awoken references ranging from Black Sabbath to Kraut-rockers, Can.
Black Mountain mix Sabbath riffola with Zeppelin-y hooks and the kind of keyboard flourishes that were once the domain of men in capes to create pure classic rock. With two LPs behind them, and numerous offshoot bands, this force of rocking nature are back with their third album, Wilderness Heart.
