UncutMay 22, 2019The journey takes a variety of fascinating detours along the way, not least the digressive folk-prog of "Pretty Little Lazies" and "Boogie Lover's" spacey approximation of classic Hawkwind. [Jun 2019, p.24]
-
May 22, 2019Destroyer is Black Mountain's tightest, gnarliest, and least sprawling outing to date.
-
May 22, 2019The fifth Black Mountain album is their most driving album yet, literally. It was edited on the road, directly influenced by the feeling of being behind the wheel. Of the 22 tracks recorded, the eight that made it are as propulsive as you can get, hard-edged cerebral space trucking.
-
May 22, 2019Destroyer starts thumping with the first track and never stops; the tone might change, but the listener’s desire to stomp the accelerator on the open road won’t.
-
Nov 8, 2019Welcome to the desolate wasteland of Destroyer.
-
May 28, 2019Destroyer feels like a band waking up from the slumber rut that marred their more recent output. There is a distinct sense of urgency here, of the adrenaline felt with a new experience that always seemed previously out of reach. McBean has (fuel) injected an exigency to this project once again, and the results are great.

Classic Rock MagazineMay 30, 2019Destroyer may shake and shudder but it never falls apart. [Jul 2019, p.81]
-
May 29, 2019Their version of the band has a lot less boogie but a lot more swamp, a lot more Frank Frazetta fantasy, a lot more majestic doom.
-
May 28, 2019Destroyer becomes the perfect album to play in your car while you speed (safely) down the highway. Though not as trippy or psych heavy as its predecessors, Destroyer still manages to fit perfectly into the Black Mountain catalogue.
-
Q MagazineJun 14, 2019Destroyer attempts to shoehorn more incongruous elements into an already busy mix. [Summer 2019, p.108]
-
MojoMay 22, 2019Destroyer shifts up a couple of gears for a less cosmic,more hard rockin' thrust, complete with headlong NWOBHM riffs and even shredding. [Jun 2019, p.90]
