Holy Mountain - Holy Mountain EP

Posted by Austin Tasseltine, Tue 21 Jul 2009
***

For the uninitiated, this doom 'n' roll two-piece have been shaking loose light fixtures and teeth to fervent reactions for the last four months. Stories of multiple shows in one night and performances in vans winding through city centres are already passing into folklore. Though this EP doesn't quite capture the thunderous spectacle, it provides useful insight into the nature of Holy Mountain. Walls of guitar collapse onto the scattered rubble of drums, both frantic and precise. Tempos undulate from treacle slow to torrential. With a bit of production behind them, there's a monster here just waiting to get out.
