Black Mountain is a Canadian rock band led by Stephen McBean. The band is a psychedelic amalgamation of Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, and Black Sabbath. Leader Stephen McBean also heads another similarly-named band, Pink Mountaintops, who are the more experimental side of McBean's musical abilities.
Black Mountain is the front line band for Black Mountain Army. By day, McBean works in a needle-exchange facility for drug addicts, near Vancouver's infamous Main & Hastings intersection, widely considered to be the heroin capital of Canada, if not North America. Matt Camirand and Joshua Wells are also in Blood Meridian.
