HELHORSE To Release 'Oh Death' In September

July 25, 2013

Danish sluggish rock/metal band HELHORSE will release its second album, "Oh Death", on September 23.

The references are vast and many, when you talk about HELHORSE. The band that was formed out of the backyards and dingy rock bars of Copenhagen has from the very beginning seen itself as a true bastard, that refuses to submit to narrow minded genre conventions or pre-conceived ideas on how it's "supposed" to sound."

After playing a series of significant shows with bands like BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and MONSTER MAGNET, as well as festivals such as the Spot Festival, HELHORSE recorded its first album, "For Wolves And Vultures". With the raw, almost unholy, mixture of dirty metal, punk and classic rock, HELHORSE positioned itself on the Nordic rock/metal stage as a band to be noticed. As one of Denmark's biggest newspapers, Information, said: "HELHORSE sounds like the bastard child of BLACK SABBATH and BLACK FLAG."

Wiser, stronger and more focused, HELHORSE entered the studio in 2012 to record its second album. But something had happened and it was obvious for the band that they were at a crossroad. Should they sound even more dirty, messed up and brutal or should they go a different path? The answer was obvious — expansion with no limitations! There was simply to many things to say, to many emotions and too big a universe available between the six members to allow themselves to do the same album twice.

Ballads, punk explosions, heavy, meaty riffs are all aspects on "Oh Death", but there is a common denominator. Namely, the love of the riff, the good melody and a tight song composition. If you listen more closely, you will hear darkness, a more somber tone, deeper lyrics and a more serious band. All this is wrapped in a the massive a heavy production of Emil Buss (Grapehouse Studios) and shows a band that is firing at all cylinders and a dense, hard rocking sound that jumps out of the speakers.

After finishing up a full European tour in May 2013 (that included support dates for the stellar rock band KADAVAR),HELHORSE will embark on the Headbangers Ball tour in autumn 2013, covering Denmark as well as Germany.
