Black Mountain is a Canadian rock band that has been casting its shadow on the landscape of modern psychedelia since forming in 2004. The group hails from Vancouver, British Columbia, and consists of Stephen McBean on guitar and vocals, Jeremy Schmidt on keyboards, Brad Truax on bass, Rachel Fannan on vocals and Adam Bulgasem on drums. Known for their distinctive blend of psychedelic rock, heavy metal, and space rock, Black Mountain has cultivated a unique and loyal fan base. Their sound is characterized by sprawling guitar riffs, haunting vocal harmonies, and hypnotic rhythms that draw inspiration from the heyday of 60s and 70s rock music fused with a contemporary edge.

Over the years, Black Mountain has released a series of critically acclaimed albums and singles that showcase their evolving style and commitment to pushing the boundaries of their genre. Their 2019 release "Destroyer" is named after the discontinued single-run 1985 Dodge Destroyer, and the album drives with a similar legendary and elusive prowess. Tracks such as “Future Shade” embody the band's knack for mighty, driving riffs, while “Licensed to Drive” exudes a more synth-heavy, cosmic vibe. The group's work prior to "Destroyer," including "IV," "Mothers of the Sun," and "Florian Saucer Attack," further solidifies their reputation for crafting deep, expansive soundscapes paired with thought-provoking lyrics. Each release contributes to the sonic narrative that Black Mountain has been constructing, a journey through shadowy realms of musical innovation that shows no signs of dimming.
