« In a nihilistic, twisted, acid-fueled sort of way, the video for « Scorched Earth » portrays the existential boredom the whole world has slumped into in the midst of this damn pandemic. It’s the kind of stuff that both hardcore stoners and those with a dark sense of humor can appreciate« , say Metal Injection. « Mountain Tamer stands apart from their peers with their keen sense of fusing the universally-loved qualities of doom and stoner rock with the hallucinatory freak outs of psychedelia.«

Following their highly acclaimed 2018’s ‘Godfortune // Dark Matters’ and support shows for Fatso Jetson, Weedeater and Dead Meadow, MOUNTAIN TAMER quickly took the West Coast underground heavy scene by storm.

Out September 25th on Heavy Psych Sounds – Preorder
MOUNTAIN TAMER takes the expansive vision of pure psychedelia and pares it down through the brooding and focused lens of doom and stoner rock. Guitarist/vocalist Andrew Hall, drummer Casey Garcia and bassist Dave Teget, formed their signature fusion of heavy psych rock in 2011 just outside of San Francisco. Now based in Los Angeles, MOUNTAIN TAMER’s cult following is built on their DIY ethics, inimitable songwriting, and in your face live performances. After self-releasing several demos, the band released their s/t debut album in 2016 on Argonauta Records. The band toured heavily following the release, playing with notable acts along the way such as Fatso Jetson, Weedeater and Dead Meadow.
In 2018, MOUNTAIN TAMER teamed with Magnetic Eye and Nasoni Records to release their sophomore album, Godfortune // Dark Matters to critical acclaim for its unique approach and genre bending aesthetics. The band rode this success to a full US tour and appearances at SXSW in 2019. This Fall will see them to release their strongest and most heavy psych album to date, Psychosis Ritual, which without a doubt will end on several Best of 2020 lists.
MOUNTAIN TAMER is:
Andrew Hall – Guitar/Vocals
