Release Date: August 12, 2016 - Tomorrow!!
With a name such as Howling Giant and with a name such as the one that they gave to their EP you can expect big things, and Howling Giant delivers. Black Hole Space Wizard Part 1 is only four songs long and twenty-one total minutes but within those minutes you get a menagerie of sounds that come together to create mystical soundscapes and a wondrous story." - Cadaver Garden

"Sonically, Howling Giant seem to be the missing link between Monster Truck and Mastodon, and they top it off with whacked-out, sci-fi lyrics about outer space." - Hellbound
"Rocketing across the interstellar airways on a stellar path of massive grooves, ones fueled by the thrust of the ever-powerful riff and its incendiary combustion, Howling Giant make themselves heard throughout the cosmos on these four out-of-this-world tracks." - Metal Nexus
"If modern day Mastodon got together with Crobot, added some Monster Truck style Hammond Organ and Elder’s gift for writing something fuzzy and glorious, then to be honest, it’d probably sound a little like this." - Maximum Volume Music
"Fuzz yeah, this is the shit. Well, it is if you’re into bands like Mastodon, Baroness and Red Fang. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, USA, Howling Giant comes up with some infectious stoner rock, nudging towards psychedelic rock and doom. The trio seemingly consists of nerds who combine their love for comics, space travel and downtuned, fuzzed-out guitars." - Merchants of Air
"Howling Giant are very capable of writing catchy compositions that are interesting on an artistic level while also playing perfectly to an audience." - Metal Trenches
“Fuzz rock with the kinetics of a bikini-babe monster flick and the high drama of a mid-70's Marvel comic book.†- Lucas Klaukien, You May Be Dead and Dreaming
“Slightly reverberated and charismatic vocals set to an astonishing stoned out groove. Take a look to what the others had to say. It’s stirring up some dust in the stoner scene and makes for some high expectations of what more is to come.†- Bucky Brown, Ripple Music
“The way they incorporate inspirations with great musical and songwriting talents and a huge sense of "I don't give a fuck what you think"- attitude, gives me such satisfaction.†- Hakan Nyman, The Ripple Effect
“You guys sound like an evil Bachman-Turner Overdrive.†- Dave Cloud
"Who could not like a band that "plays self-indulgent, drop-tuned, fuzzed out riffs that could curdle milk?" Check out the epic "Whale Lord" to hear what they're talking about. -Terra James-Jura - The Deli Magazine (Nashville)
