Australian stoner rock trio Mountains Of Madness releases a brand new single »Pent-up-Costal«

Hobart, Tasmania based stoner rock trio Mountains Of Madness premiere their brand new single »Pent-up-Costal«, released on June 17th, 2024.

Says the band: “New single, paying tribute to Hillsong Church.
We’re proud to bring you our new tune, recorded at AAA Studio, with Crawlspace Productions’ Mr Joe Haley at the desk. Thanks to Greg (Skully Bloodrider) for the artwork.

See you on the King Parrot tour this week, and if you’re good & have purchased your tickets, we might let another newie slip out!”

“Heay riffz & doomy feelz from 3 Hobart dads.”

Tasmania’s Mountains Of Madness have been plying their trade in Australia’s stoner rock scene for 12 years. After three EPs »MOM« in 2013, »Kick It In The Guts« in 2017 and »Unleash The Beast« in 2018, the band have used a global pandemic to crank out 8 tracks for their debut album, »Hold My Beer«, produced by their regular collaborator Joe Haley from Psycroptic.

The band play down tuned, melodic and punchy rock in a style that has been described as ‘sludgy bullshit rock’. The term was coined by a punter when the band were packing up their van after supporting aussie metal legends Karnivool in Hobart in 2019 and has stuck ever since.

The band’s philosophy is simple – make sure the tracks are crushing. And »Hold My Beer« holds true, with very few moments of respite in its 40 plus minutes of sonic annihilation. When it does back off, it doesn’t last long, building up to smack the listener in the ears again.
