Mystic Fire is the seventh studio album by American hard rock band Mountain, released in 2002.[2] It is their final album of original material, as their following album, Masters of War, would consist solely of covers.

The album includes the song "Immortal", which was co-written with and originally performed by Clutch. "Immortal" was originally released with different lyrics, and a different arrangement, as the song "Baby I'm Down" on Mountain (1969), Leslie West's first solo album. Clutch covered the song on their 2001 album Pure Rock Fury, rearranging it and changing the lyrics; their version has a guitar solo by Leslie West. Mountain then covered that version of the song on this album.
