The Night Terrors and Matt Bailey to support Black Mountain on Australian tour – kicking off tomorrow!

“Though the songs and tone may be different, there is a distinct, familiar sound that makes this undoubtedly a Black Mountain record-and that’s a wonderful thing.” Filter magazine

After sharing the stage multiple times together in Europe last year, Canadian psych-rock five piece Black Mountain have invited mind-melting Melbourne trio The Night Terrors to join them for all dates of their February Australian tour. Accompanying them at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne will be local folk singer songwriter Matt Bailey. This show is selling fast!

Last seen on our shores two years ago off the back of their critically acclaimed and immaculate sophomore record In The Future, Black Mountain are back with new album in tow. Recorded in both Seattle and LA, Wilderness Heart is packed with succinct rock songs that pulse and pound with startling precision. It’s arguably the band’s tightest, most concentrated venture, but there’s still plenty of raw energy at work.

As anyone who saw them on their last trip to Australia can attest, the combination of the band’s strong songwriting chops, exquisitely layered male / female harmonies, 70s psychedelia and stoner grooves with the unrefined excitement they produce in the live environment is, quite simply, spellbinding.

“Rather than adhering to type, Black Mountain now have a catalogue of songs that respect and rival their influences.” BBC
