The Holy Mountain is a dark synth-pop group from Norway with accordion, vocals, synth and drums. Since 2015, the band has produced an impressive discography of critically acclaimed, unique and genre-defying music with a taste for the dark and transcendental.
As a duo, the band released their debut studio album Toad of Light in 2018 on Shhpuma Records (Clean feed). The four-part instrumental release was a testament to dystopian sci-fi visions and cult aesthetics, themes that would follow the band further into the future. Two years later, the group became a trio and ventured deeper into the void with Ending it All Tonight, a fully-fledged electronic synth album inspired by synthwave/vaporwave and the joys and horrors of 80s pop culture.
With their next studio album, The Holy Mountain would push new musical grounds and depart from the previous. The Dawns Here Are Quiet (TDHAQ) was released in May 2023 and saw the band return to their original instrumentation of accordion, drums and synth, now with added vocals. Sonically, TDHAQ is more reminiscent of Nordic jazz and indie-pop than anything else, with a vibe that's mellow and melancholic yet intense and uplifting at the same time.
Already in early 2024, the trio is ready with their next EP, They Are Asleep, an upbeat breath of fresh air in their musical career.
