Feather Mountain

The Copenhagen prog metal quartet FEATHER MOUNTAIN writes music that utilizes the contrasts from the heaviness of metal and the dreaminess of alternative rock. As the band moniker FEATHER MOUNTAIN illustrates, the contrasts and nuances are pivotal to the band, which seeks towards creating sound and images that encompasses the duality and complexity of existence within its whole musical totality.

A performance with FEATHER MOUNTAIN is much more than a musical experience. The band has a live show with a core made of storytelling and a feminine masculinity, and the listener is thereby invited into a universe where vulnerability and aggression nourish each other.

FEATHER MOUNTAIN’s latest album ‘To Exit A Maelstrom’ thematizes the experience of the band’s bassist and drummer’s loss of their father to Alzheimer’s disease. A disease that slowly dissolves a human being and ultimately transforms the familiar into something alien. The band members felt that they were caught in a maelstrom, where one is swallowed by unrejectable, external incoming circumstances beyond personal control and risk drowning and being devoured. At the same time, the album is about finding one’s way out of the maelstrom, to heal one’s wounds and return to life with new perspectives, which are undeniably delivered to those, who once stood on the bottom and gazed upwards.
