Dead Mountain Mouth is the debut full-length album by Genghis Tron. It was released on June 6, 2006, on Crucial Blast in CD format, and on June 27, 2006, on Lovepump United in vinyl format (white and clear coloured). A vinyl reissue of the album was released in late 2008, again on Lovepump United.

Background

[edit]

The album is more varied than the previous EP, and features the band exploring such genres as doom metal, intelligent dance music (IDM), power noise, experimental rock and grindcore. Both the album and the title track quote and echo T. S. Eliot's poem, The Waste Land, involving pivotal themes of disconnectedness, disharmony and non-fecundity.[citation needed]
