“Black Mountain sounds as mighty as ever..."Licensed to Drive" is what you want in the 8-track cassette player when you're bombing through the Nevada desert in a fully restored El Camino with a complete aversion to anything with sleeves.” - The Georgia Straight
“Black Mountain puts the pedal to the metal with Destroyer” - Vancouver Sun
“Black Mountain have always been great at doing all the things that bongwater-gargling riff-monsters should be good at doing. They have titanic canyon-spanning hooks. They’ve got enough dynamic range to switch their style up a few times within the space of a single song...On Destroyer, all of that is in very clear evidence. It’s enough to fill up your soul.” - Stereogum
Today, Black Mountain are announcing the Horns Arising Tour with stops throughout Western Canada including Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg. Full tour dates can be found below. Tickets are on sale for all shows June 21 at 10AM local time.

Out now on Dine Alone Records, Black Mountain’s new record, Destroyer, oscillates along Stephen McBean & Jeremy Schmidt's collaborative frequencies and features contributions from Rachel Fannan (Sleepy Sun), Arjan Miranda, Adam Bulgasem (Dommengang, Soft Kill), Kid Millions (Oneida) and John Congleton (St Vincent, Swans). Collectively, there’s a renewed vitality to Black Mountain on Destroyer — a seasoned, veteran of heady hard rock that’s found new, young muscles to flex and roads to explore.

PRAISE FOR BLACK MOUNTAIN
“...a loose, trippy and freewheel-burning journey through outer (and inner) space, toggling between shape-shifting epics and hypnotic riff-fuelled megajams.” - Tinnitist
“Imagine a ridiculous Ed "Big Daddy" Roth creation with jutting fins, go-faster stripes, massive back tires scorching smoke, a triple-intake blower erupting through the hood, and an oversized eight-ball shifter sticking through the roof where some maniacal speed mutant tweaks with his tongue flapping in the breeze, blistering down the highway towards a knife fight between hair metal, punk and stoner rock. That is the feeling this album evokes.” - Exclaim!
“[Destroyer] finds the Canadian outfit channeling the exhilarating, thrill-seeking spirit often associated with adolescence.” - Consequence of Sound
“Destroyer, the latest treasure from Canadian psych rock outfit Black Mountain, a heavy, crunchy, head-banging good time with eight tracks to throw the sign of the horns to.” - Paste
"Destroyer has arrived just in time to quench your summertime blues and transport you to their silver mothership in the sky" - Beatroute
“They’ve stuffed Destroyer full of the kind of anthems that rattle the windows while hotboxed teens park in the back lot. They find the sweet spot between volume and spaced synths that pair well with lying on the hood staring at the stars and wishing away the last year of high school so that you can finally be free of this damn town.” - Raven Sings The Blues
