Holy Mountain @ The Bay Horse October 18, 2012

An intensely loud and unorthodox high-energy trio from Glasgow combining the riffs of Black Sabbath, the frenzied energy of Lightning Bolt and the attitude of the MC5. The band’s debut mini album ‘Earth Measure’ was recorded in 17 hours at Glasgow’s Diving Bell studio with Marcus Mackay (Frightened Rabbit / Reindeer Section) before being mixed and mastered by Iain Cook of Aereogramme / The Unwinding Hours.

Chemikal Underground released this on limited edition coloured vinyl with CD and a signed / numbered insert on May 7th 2012, with pre-production already underway for a full length LP to be released by the label later in 2012.

"Generally badass." The Skinny

“Savage axe-mastery and vintage spirit … Turn it up to 11.” The List

“There's a depth and richness in the sound that lets so many other rock records down. The bass echoes. The drums are relentless. The vocals emerge out of the mix and fade back into them. The cymbals sound like they're in danger of breaking.” Drowned in Sound

“There’s a joy, and a teetering-on-the-edge-of-insanity reckless abandon, to the delivery of this music too that is utterly infectious.” The Line of Best Fit

“This is an insanely good band. Go see them live. Go fuckin' mental, take your top off, get steamin. Fling your scants at them when they play live. Tell your pals about them. Because if you don’t they will shag your maw.” Beard Rock
