Destructive, brutal, black, death, doom sufficiently sums up the massive
WarHorse sound. We're talking riffs sooooo heavy, bass sooooo low, drums
sooooo massive, you get the feeling of being beaten slowly with a wet
mattress. However, WarHorse is definitely not a one trick pony (pun
intended). They have contraasted this massive heaviness with a unique use
of dynamics. One minute you're drawn into a trance-like state with soft,
dark, quiet passages. The next you're violently struck by enormously
bombastic dirge riffs. This extreme use of dynamics (read:loud/quiet)
and dark atmospher even brings to mind the work of Slint
or Pink Floyd.
Call them the Slint of Sabbath. This technique is what sets apart
WarHorse from the thousand of pretenders to the throne.
Not only will this appeal to the doom/stoner rock crowd but the extreme
heaviness and sinister vibe is being praised by death metal fans as well.
A truly classic debut album that will be talked about and praised for a
long time to come!
