Holy Mountain

Playing a raw, muscular fusion of psychedelia and heavy rock with epic-scale guitar work and abundant energy, the Holy Mountain are a wailing rock band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. The Holy Mountain were formed by guitarist and vocalist Andy McGlone and drummer Pete Flett. In the spring of 2010, the Holy Mountain expanded into a trio when Allan Stewart came aboard to play bass; months later, the group began work on its first album, Earth Measures. An advance single, "Luftwizard" backed by a cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," appeared in the fall of 2013, and Ancient Astronauts, the Holy Mountain's sophomore album, was released in the spring of 2014. ~ Mark Deming
