By EA Solinas HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 25, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Black Mountain exists in a swirl of heavy, grimy, vaguely psychedelic hard-rock, redolent of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin (with maybe a touch of the Velvet Underground and Pink Floyd).

And the band is in fine shape in their sophomore album "In The Future" -- they introduce some new musical twists, while still keeping their signature sound. It's a powerful, intense collection of hard-rockers, but with a few softer songs sprinkled in to show their range.

It opens with a grimy riff, a dark stomping bassline, and some smashing drums -- and for a minute, the appropriately-named "Stormy High" whips itself into a barely-restrained frenzy. When Stephen McBean's wailing vocals join the mix, the song straightens out into a solid, intense rocker that blasts its way down, reeking of classic rock concerts and apocalyptic fury.

Having reeled you in, Black Mountain turns out the bluesy "Angels," with McBean lamenting, "Come on, lay your head on down/angels, lay your arms around/every city's singing saddened songs...." And that quieter song is echoed in some of the others -- mournful folkiness, haunting fuzzy songs, or the ethereal closing lament "Night Walks."

But they haven't abandoned the harder music, thankfully. This is where their real power erupts out -- simmering hard-rock, gritty psychedelica wound with synth, stormy twisting electro-metal, and the penultimate song -- a seventeen-minute epic journey through explosive hard-rock, solemn organ instrumentals, and an earsplitting finale.

Whoo. What a ride. It's been only three years since Black Mountain came out with their self-titled album and EP -- it was great music, but still raw and unformed.

This will make you feel like you're in the '70s. what a solid rock'n roll album. sometines, it gets stoner as hell and you start to headbang like a madman to the music. The only thing that I didn't like from this album was the packaging. I mean, you have a great album cover, you could make a good booklet and a digipak por the limited 2disc edition, I was a little dissapointed by that. the music is great.

I love this album! I think it's the best of their 3. I'm not sure why, except it is the one I got first , and listened to the most. I especially love the song "Angels".

This band has a male and female singer, though most of the songs are written by the band's leader, Stephen Mcbean. Their first album, self titled, has a big variety in sound between songs, for instance a jazzy upbeat number, the next song something completely different etc.

This album "In the Future" has a slower, soft feel. It almost seems to have a pagan theme. Then their 3rd album "Wilderness Heart" seemed to get more acclaim, and hype. But I found it - complicated, almost a frenzy.

Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed! I don't know if this band is still together, or if they will make any more albums. According to Wiki, the lead singer has other bands and projects going on.

This is one of the few newer bands I've gotten into.

After a couple of listens to this record the songs seem to grow on you.
The record has a sound like it was taken from the earlier 70's and remastered.Check out the GRACE SLICK like vocals and the Black Sabbath pulsing guitar riffs. Throw in some underlying Pink Floyd, mix a little Zepplin in, and you have a pretty good record.
All in all,this band will take you right back to the seventies, with a littke bit of today's studio tricks.
Looking forward to their next release!!!
