For fans of Deep Purple, Queens of The Stone Age, Black Keys, and Kyuss, Black Mastiff‘s new album “Loser Delusions” is a blizzard of distortion that will be experienced this coming Friday, October 18, 2019 via Grand Hand Records. Before the album officially drops, the Edmonton riff masters have teamed up with Bravewords for its exclusive full stream premiere HERE.
Ready to put listeners into a fuzzy mood with their signature groove with their new album ‘Loser Delusions’, this latest release from Black Mastiff explores new territories, with distinctive, thick sounds and soulful vocals that are immediately recognizable.
“Loser Delusions” is much more eclectic than their previous record, “Music Machine”, and shows the band is comfortable stepping outside of the expected. With “Loser Delusions”, the band is inviting fans on a musical journey that passes through all things rock n’ roll, from garage to prog, there are many influences that Black Mastiff has not previously tapped into that are present on this new album.
The band adds:
“Loser Delusions is a realization of who Black Mastiff was meant to be. This riff ladened rhythm explosion of an album will make your body shake like a jello pudding cake”.

Bio:
Edmonton’s Black Mastiff (Bob Yiannakoulias, Clay Shea, Allan Harding) is a band built around lifelong friendships and having fun, a vibe they’ve extended to both their porous, heavy, and vigorous live performance, and their recordings.
With their third full-length album Loser Delusions (Fall 2019), keeping it together became a literal priority. During the four years since their well-received Music Machine (New Damage Records, 2015), recorded and beautifully produced at Thunder Underground Studio in the desert of Palm Springs with John Garcia (Kyuss, Vista Chino), the trio had to change their perception of how a band operates. Already Renaissance men and entrepreneurs in other life ventures, when facing unforeseen challenges the band sharpened their production and business know-how by starting their own label, Grand Hand, with tour mates Chron Goblin. When drummer Allan moved to Vancouver, they decided to see how distance apart could add to, rather than take away from, their creative process and sound. The result is a determined continuation of what they do best, with a voyaging out into new sonic territory.

“This one rises above the ultra-crowded stoner rock genre with its seriously ’70s vibe, cool and lazy vocal delivery, warm production and adherence to the riff over everything else.” – Exclaim
“Black Mastiff is a power trio that creates their own version of stoner rock. They take a super heavy riff for a ride and explore a groove with a heavy rhythmic infra-structure and beautiful melodic vocals that bear the influence of the sounds of the desert.” – Coachella Valley Weekly
“I’m a fan of music….when you hear music that makes you feel….well, that’s what Black Mastiff did for me…they made me feel…… there was just something there. When music makes you feel anything, anything at all. Happy, sad, takes you back…I don’t care who it is. I don’t care if it’s Earth, Wind or Fire, Motley Crue, if it draws out deep emotion, I become a fan. I became a fan of Black Mastiff when Bruno Fevery and I caught their set….So much so, that I covered one of their songs on my new solo album.” – John Garcia-(KYUSS, Slo Burn, Vista Chino)
“I saw them in Edmonton, Canada. They have such a unique take on music and just when you think you know where it’s gonna go, they take it somewhere completely unexpected….some of their songs remind me of a modern version of The Doors whether they see it or not.” – John Garcia – (KYUSS, Slo Burn, Vista Chino)

Edmonton’s Black Mastiff are blasting off to ‘Star Base 77’ with their new animated music video in support of their forthcoming album “Loser Delusions” due out on October 18, 2019 via Grand Hand Records. The video’s animation was created by Black Mastiff‘s own vocalist/guitarist Bobby Yiannakoulias.
“As a songwriter, this track is about us all being insignificant in the world while we’re so obsessed with whether or not we get likes “Hope the station knows that I’ve arrived”. The guitar, drums, and bass are working together with a very precise heavy heating march. That’s how we do our thing. When singing this song I thought a lot about Bobby Liebling and Blue Cheer doing “Summertime Blues”. As a filmmaker, I love animation and movies old rotoscope movies like ‘The Hobbit’ from 1977.I tried to draw from that style but with an added sense of humour.” says Yiannakoulias.
The animated video can be viewed via its exclusive premiere on Outlaws of The Sun HERE.

Edmonton’s Black Mastiff are ready to put listeners into a fuzzy mood with their signature groove with their new album ‘Loser Delusions’ out on October 18, 2019 via Grand Hand Records.
“The comradely instrumentation contrasts nicely with Yiannakoulias’s singular, yearning, existential vocals that speak to his listener in clouded lonely confessions, through half-glimpsed, elemental psychic-scapes of uncertain sky, rising rivers and darkness “looking for something that does not exist yet.” But the musical and lyrical theme of artistic searching for new experience is heightened on Loser Delusion, the tone more awake, the touch more urgent: we all need a rest, getting through this mess Yiannakoulias sings on the first track “Down By a Sound”. – Thea Bowering
The single ‘Down By A Sound’, premieres on Doomed and Stoned on Wednesday. August 28 and can be heard here.
Vocalist/guitarist Bob Yiannakoulias sums up the single:
“An existential crisis that leads to change and moving on “what isn’t green you leave behind”, all wrapped up and delivered with Phil Lynott attitude and a Knight Rider vibe.”
For fans of Deep Purple, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Keys, and Kyuss, Black Mastiff is a blizzard of distortion and can be experienced in full on October 18, 2018 through all music platforms.
