Including members of
Shelter,
The Red Chord and
American Nightmare,
Bloodhorse have crafted nine tracks of sludgy, groove-filled rock that owes a great deal to old and new. The vocals cross
Brent Hinds with
Ozzy; the guitars too are reminiscent of
Mastodon (‘The Old Man’) although the majority is focussed on driving grooves rather than technical intricacies. The band tease with long escalating intros (‘A Good Son’) but still take the time to belt out classic rock-infused hardcore as good as anything before (‘Paranoiac’). Given the calibre of its members, it’s no surprise such range is a pleasure to absorb.
