Holy Mount to Release The Drought Feb. 24
Preorders are, of course, up now. Feb. 24 is the release date for White Dwarf Records‘ limited vinyl run of Holy Mount‘s The Drought. This marks the second collaboration (by my count) between the Toronto-based heavy psych swirlmakers and the Berlin imprint, which also issued a deluxe version of their 2014 debut, We Fell from the Sky, in 2015. Likewise, The Drought was first self-released by the band digitally as their third full-length last year, and if there’s any question as to why it might get picked up for an LP issue, between the cover and the full stream that you can hear at the bottom of this post, any and all queries should be thoroughly answered.
Holy Mount have another long-player, 2014’s VOL, and a slew of other short releases on their Bandcamp page, which is linked below, so if you want to dig in, there’s much fodder for that purpose. If the band is new to you, as they are to me, you’ve got nothing to lose.
Have at it:

“By the frigid, windy great lakes of Toronto, Canada situated on a broad sloping plateau intersected by an extensive network of rivers and deep ravines, lies HOLY MOUNT. At the summit, four hermits have been gathering for years celebrating Heavy Psych ceremonies, channeling the mystery of the great north. Their last recorded ritual, released early this year by White Dwarf, titled ‘The Drought’, shows the quartet comprised of Danijel, Brandon, Troy and Clayton at his best with heavy doomy drones, ghostly enchantings and superb guitar riffs/solos filled with fuzz reverberating through the Black Mountains above into the Dead Meadows below.” The Temple
