Holy Mountain is a high-energy trio that creates psychedelic 70’s rock with elements of doom and stoner rock in the style of the MC5, Black Sabbath and Iron Monkey. Formed in Glasgow, December 2008, the band consists of Andy McGlone (guitar, vocals), Pete Flett (drums) and Allan Stewart (bass, vocals).
Andy McGlone and Pete Flett met in the Captains Rest in Glasgow, December 2008 and started the band as a two-piece. They were later joined by Allan Stewart in April 2010. They take their name from the 1973 film by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Earth Measures was recorded in the Diving Bell Lounge, Glasgow in July 2010. The session was engineered by Marcus Mackay (Frightened Rabbit), mixed by Iain Cook (of Aereogramme, The Unwinding Hours, Chvrches), and mastered by Kenny MacLeod (Mogwai, Sons and Daughters).
Described by The List as a “cacophonous, riff-driven release imbued with savage axe-mastery and vintage spirit”, the album was released on the 7th May 2012 through Chemikal Underground. The album was met with positive reviews; Drowned In Sound stating 'there's a depth and richness in the sound that lets so many other rock records down.', The Skinny describing the sound as "fuzz-faced bass-heavy ecstasy" and The Line of Best Fit described it as "teetering-on-the-edge-of-insanity reckless abandon". The band promoted the album with sessions with Marc Riley on BBC Radio 6 Music and Vic Galloway on BBC Radio Scotland, as well as festival appearances at Eurosonic, Bergenfest and local support slots with Shrinebuilder and The Twilight Sad.
The band entered Chem 19 recording studio in April 2013 and completed recording of their second album "Ancient Astronauts" with producer Paul Savage. The album also features Graeme Smillie (Emma Pollock, Unwinding Hours) on organ and keys. The album was mixed by Savage in December.
The album was released in the UK on the 7th April, 2014 on the Chemikal Underground label.
