Album Review: Mt Mountain - Cosmos Terros

StarStarStarHalf Star

"It's this shadowy quintet's steady progression that will satisfy the most."

More Mt Mountain Mt Mountain Profile

While much of Mt Mountain's 18 months in the making debut will be familiar to fans having been well tested on stage, it's this shadowy quintet's steady progression that will satisfy the most.

Often billed in support of bludgeoning doom-metallers, Mt Mountain weave subtler spells with whispered vocals, unsettling organ drones and now immersive production as the guitars buzz with more frenetic tension than ever. Cosmos Terrors is laden with such tangible undertones of creeping doom that even arch-Satanist Aleister Crowley would have no choice but to doff his cowl in reverence.
