Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain

Hypermagic Mountain by Lightning Bolt

All killer, no filler follow-up to 2003's Wonderful Rainbow, Hypermagic Mountain slams into hyperdrive for a full 57 minute ride. The songs are dense and constructed from an intense three week recording session deep within a psychic sweatbox. The band has blurred differences to any other sound pirates with this record using a primal base and a new musical vocabulary fueled by chemistry-altering volume and kick ass SONGS! Throbbing low-end played on a 300 foot long bass and kick drums the size of Exxon supertankers, all stretched into a triumphant war stomp that all can love. With just bass and drums (a two piece band you see) they have constructed the densest sound imaginable.

5...according to .

Imagine the scene... You're skipping through a field of daisies, on a glorious summer morning. The breeze weaving playfully through your fingers, the sunlight adorning your glowing skin. Then, out of nowhere, this monster arrives, wielding a chainsaw and the carcass of a small child. Totally tasteless!!!
