HORSEBACK Complete Work On New Album

February 3, 2012

Chapel Hill, North Carolina's HORSEBACK has completed recording its new full-length album, "Half Blood", for a spring release via Relapse Records. The follow-up to 2009's "The Invisible Mountain" is being described by the band's mainman Jenks Miller as "[HORSEBACK's] most ambitious record to date that represents a synthesis of the approaches we've explored in the past." The CD was produced by Miller at The Chateau in the band's hometown. Additional tracking was done at Arbor Ridge Studios and Track And Field Recording by Nick Petersen.

Featuring "stunning" cover artwork from renowned Russian surrealist painter Denis Forkas Kostromitin, "Half Blood" is "an amalgamation of drone, doom, black-metal, psychedelia, post-rock, noise, and ambience recorded with a wide array of instruments including guitar, bass, drums, keys, piano, bells, contact mics, field recordings, drum programming, noise and various signal processors," according to a press release.
