And lo, a band called Black Mountain appeared from the depths and embarked on the longest tour ever in support of new LP, Wilderness Heart

From the depths of the hobbit-filled, blind-cavefish-dwelling indie metal underworld comes Black Mountain, back and better than ever, ready to rock you in ways your creepy black-metal-loving neighbor who works at Jimmy John’s could never imagine (or maybe he can; frankly, I don’t want to know what that guy’s up to [shudder]). Come September 14, an unfathomably cool dose of rock ’n’ roll shall be revealed via Jagjaguwar in the form of the band’s third studio album, Wilderness Heart, produced by Randall Dunn (Boris, sunn 0))), Kinski) and Dave Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother, LCD Soundsystem), the somewhat-long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s In The Future (TMT Review). Those fortunate enough to catch the Vancouver-based rockers on tour this summer/fall will be treated to a handful of new songs from the album.
