about

Please be introduced to "The Sands" by Mount Palatine.

It’s one of the band's most ambitious creations to date—a highly dynamic song, rising and falling, like the mentioned mountains of sand, and saturated in a mysterious atmosphere. Deeply poetic and allegorical in its lyrics the song is a pondering, or rather an observation, of the transience of everything and the concept of existence in the sands of time. In the infinity of the desert night all things must pass.

The lineup consists of Jean the Baron (guitar & vocals), Count Boogie (bass), and Lord of the Groove (drums). Together they channel their unique chemistry into sprawling songs that range from crushing sludge-laden riffs to hypnotic psychedelic textures, from screamed vocals that tear through the void to ethereal clean melodies that linger like echoes from another realm. The result is an immersive soundscape that is as punishing as it is transcendental — heavy but never static, spiritual yet grounded in groove. Drawing inspiration from across genres, Mount Palatine weave elements of
doom, stoner, progressive metal, psychedelic rock, and beyond into a sound unmistakably their own.

The Song was recorded, mixed and mastered at Saarni Music.
