Mountain God Signs Deal With Artificial Head Records

Artificial Head Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Brooklyn-based trio Mountain God and the release of debut album "Bread Solstice."

Experimenting with raw concoctions of doom and '70s psychedelic influences, Mountain God's commitment to channeling ill feeling, heavy rock, deep meaning, and dark subject matter is unwavering.

Following the departure drummer Ian Murray and former Alkahest member Jon Powell, Thera Roya drummer Ryan Smith was drafted in as the trio set to work recordings that would form the basis of "Bread Solstice."

“While some of the songs date all the way back to 2013, we didn’t begin rehearsing them regularly until Summer 2015,” explains guitarist Ben Ianuzzi. “We started out demoing, writing, and tearing apart the ideas until we had things we liked. We definitely wanted to push the envelope with more nuanced effects and fewer 4/4 time signatures.”

Around this period the band also became a steady fixture on the NYC metal scene performing shows with the likes of Ufomammut, YOB, Primitive Man, Naam and Kings Destroy. Artificial Head founder Walter Carlos comments:

“I just knew I wanted to work with the band on a release. Their music reminds of the sludge and experimentation of bands such as Skullflower, Splintered, and Ramleh. Big, crushing emptiness with grinding tempos. Their new album, Bread Solstice, continues in that epic darkness.”

New album "Bread Solstice" will be released on vinyl/digital formats this coming 24th of March, 2017.
