well, I guess I can't change that title....great:(



Just heard them for the first time, very cool sound. Not exactly stoner or doom or sludge, but something very heavy indeed.

definitely a good band. haven't heard anything about them for awhile now, wonder if they're on hiatus or something. they haven't played in boston for awhile.

It looks like people are comparing them in direct opposition to The Sword, meaning that Bloodhorse is 'Modern Metal' done right.

This track slays..

The youtube comments kill me:
So I had never heard of this band and I picked up their album Horizoner on a whim and I ahve to say... thoroughly disappointed. It just sounds like I've heard it all before. Isn't it funny how it's "cool" to be "metal" now? So many bands these days are jumping on the "revivalist" metal bandwagon, it's so annoying. This sounds like COC's "In the Arms of God" but less... good.

Listen to the band Lesbian for a more original approach to modern metal.

I think some of them moved to NYC, thus their inactivity.

I liked the debut EP, but wasn't as hot on the full length, I thought it had some pacing/arrangement issues as an album, although their were some songs I really dug.

Definitely a fierce drumming presence.

yeah, the drummer makes this band for me. he has a huge kit and does a full drum solo live which totally kicks ass. good shit for sure.
