 And it kicks off with "Wilderness Heart", a piece as hard as it gets (very much Deep Purple style), a great start.

 With all the risks involved. Like trying to travel against the flow on a highway.

 These are Black Mountain, standard-bearers of 21st-century neo-psychedelia. Open applause.

 This rock album by the Canadian band Black Mountain has, for quite some time now, virtually monopolized my player, driving every other genre of music out of my mind, spinning incessantly day after day, hour after hour without tiring me for a second, indeed leading me to a state of addiction and a continuous need to press the "repeat" button.
