Black Mastiff is a Canadian rock band hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, known for their potent blend of stoner rock, blues, and psychedelic influences. The trio, formed in the late 2000s, consists of vocalist and guitarist Bob Yiannakoulias, bassist Clay Shea, and drummer Allan Harding. They are recognized for their gutsy riffs and commanding rhythms, serving up a modern yet nostalgic sound that resonates with fans of heavy, groove-laden music.

The band has crafted a discography that showcases their evolution while staying true to their roots, with their 2019 release "Loser Delusions" standing out as a testament to their maturity and craftsmanship in songwriting. Preceded by the self-titled "Black Mastiff" EPs and the album "Music Machine," the band has established a sound that fuses the raw energy of rock with a laidback, almost hypnotic cadence reminiscent of the early stoner rock movement. Although "Pyramids" sets an intrinsic part of their musical journey, it's in their more recent works that Black Mastiff solidifies their place in the rock genre, appealing to audiences who crave a heavy, rhythmic escape through waves of gripping soundscapes.
