Black Mountain Releases a Cover of ’s “Junior’s Eyes” Only on Amazon Music, Listen HERE ​

Expand North American Tour

Ahead of their North American tour in support of Destroyer (released earlier this year via ​ ​ Jagjaguwar), Black Mountain shares their interpretation of the Black Sabbath classic, ​ ​ ​ “Junior’s Eyes.” The Amazon Original cover is available to stream only on Amazon Music, and ​ ​ comes the week of the 50th anniversary of Black Sabbath’s first-ever performance. Additionally, they band is pleased to expand their tour, including opening dates for Graveyard, as well as headlining dates. ​

Stephen McBean says of the cover:“Deep end period Ozzy slow burn. Some Butler / Ward funk, ​ ​ Iommi wah flutters and floating synths ... randomly rediscovered on a cruise through some red sand tropics. Nearly ten years on and still pulling riffs from the sky.... never say die! You’re never too old to switch on and upwards!” ​

Amazon Music listeners can find Black Mountain’s cover of “Junior’s Eyes” on the playlist The ​ Setlist, which celebrates the best music of the moment in indie rock. Customers can also ​ simply ask, "Alexa play the Amazon Original by Black Mountain" in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android and on Alexa-enabled devices. In addition to the new track, Amazon Music listeners can access hundreds of Amazon Originals featuring both emerging and established artists across numerous genres, available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music

Praise for Destroyer: ​ ​

“the metal outfit prove there's plenty of life left in their road-trip rock.” - Pitchfork ​

“[Destroyer[ builds the band’s best parts — resin-stained riffs, pop sensibilities, and ​ ​ space-prog ambitions — into a turbocharged, efficient package that pulls ahead of their stoner rock rep.” - Sharp ​

“ a heavy, crunchy, head-banging good time with eight tracks to throw the sign of the horns to.” - Paste ​

“Black Mountain have always been great at doing all the things that bongwater-gargling riff-monsters should be good at doing. They have canyon-spanning hooks. They’ve got enough dynamic range to switch their style up a few times within the space of a single song...On Destroyer, all of that is in very clear evidence. It’s enough to fill up your soul.” - Stereogum ​

“[Destroyer] goes from tracks like Pretty Little Lazies and Boogie Lover that’ll send you through ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ meandering back roads, to high-octane anthems like Licensed To Drive that’ll make you reach ​ ​ for the gear change – best left for the highways.” - Guitar ​
