Doom Metal Godfather Joe Hasselvander is set to release his new solo album, Fire On The Mountain, on November 7 via Savant Guarde Records. Having played in legendary, groundbreaking bands such as Raven, Pentagram and Blue Cheer, Joe is an icon of the scene with his own extensive solo catalogue.
Fire On The Mountain …is a Monolith….and so is its creator, Joe Hasselvander. When Savant Guarde Records approached Joe with the idea of releasing his past solo work, it came as a surprise and as an honour when Joe offered them the opportunity to release his latest solo work, Fire on the Mountain!
Savant Guarde founder Daniel Rozell comments, “We asked to hear the recordings, and quickly learned that this is the type of album we were looking for, and it has all the elements of what gives Joe‘s work in the genre an edge over his contemporaries. Fire on the Mountain is a monolith of an album, with very welcome elements and very pleasant and heavy hooks and surprises. Hasselvander has been dubbed “The Godfather of Doom” by his dedicated cult following, and Joe has really met that mark in spades.”
The first single from Fire On The Mountain is Quasimodo. With its god-like riff and sinister vocal delivery, this is old school doom metal the way it was always meant to be.
