Praise for Black Mountain
“Massive fuzz and feedback, thundering drums, a mood of ponderous doom and gloom bordering on the near-apocalyptic, and riffs, man, riffs”- Jim Derogatis, Sound Opinions
“The Vancouver quintet play flower-brained folk and Satan-friendly hard rock to evoke a moment when the hippie dream got creepy” -Rolling Stone
“Wildly adventurous reconfiguring of 1960s and 70s nostalgia that’s as duty-bound to the present as it is sympatheic to the past” -Pitchfork
“Ethereal, echoed lyrics about demons, queens, witches, and tyrants are fused with the best bits of prog rock, doom metal and the current freak-folk explosion to create an improbably rich and rewarding recording” -MOJO
