Black Mountain Essentials

The stomping psychedelia of Black Mountain brings classic ‘70s influences into the 21st century. They blast nostalgic, riff-riddled grooves and dense, smoky stoner rock, and then dabble in high-voltage heavy metal. Lead singer Stephen McBean's vocals are just as likely to wail powerfully over a chorus or melt dreamily into the blurry psych fog. These Vancouverites are the logical evolution of the heavy rock ‘n' roll heroes found on yesteryear's FM dial, shredding valiantly as they power into the future.
