Black Mountain have been relatively quiet since the release of their gloomy and atmospheric 2008 album In The Future, spending much of their time immersed in various side projects (including the impressive debut of Lightning Dust). The Vancouver rockers, however, recently broke that quiet streak by announcing the release of their third record Wilderness Heart, expected out on September 14th (via Jagjaguwar).
Not only did Black Mountain offer some album details along with the record’s cover art, but they also released their first single from Wilderness Heart. “Old Fangs” is straightforward, gritty rock, leaning less in the prog-minded direction found on much of In The Future. While there is only a semblance of the epic tracks “Stormy High” or “Tyrants” throughout “Old Fangs,” Black Mountain manages to uphold their dark, crawling sound on this track.
