West Virginia progressive sludge metallers Horseburner release an explosive second track taken from their forthcoming new album »Voice Of Storms« due out June 21st on Blues Funeral Recordings. Watch and stream »Hidden Bridges« now!

Horseburner’s new album »Voice Of Storms« is an allegorical commentary on the mistreatment of women across history. It’s the story of a girl being sold into child marriage who is imbued with the spirit of ancient Greek hunt goddess Diana, unleashed and wreaking havoc on a society that regards females as objects or currency. Drummer Adam Nohe reflects on their new single »Hidden Bridges«: “It turned into a song that everyone in the band loves, I think it’s a universal favorite. Story-wise, we’re looking at our protagonist being led through an interdimensional crossroads where she can see all universes and timelines happening simultaneously. Here she learns of how she came to exist and it sets her on her mission through the rest of the story.”

Horseburner »Voice Of Storms« out June 21 on Blues Funeral Recordings (LP/CD/digital) – Preorder via Bandcamp and Blues Funeral store

Horseburner blasted onto the scene in 2009 amid comparisons to Mastodon and Baroness, with an iteration of high-energy sludge metal informed by their Appalachian industrial background and elevated conceptual themes. And, from the impact of galloping full-length »Dead Seeds«, »Barren Soil« to their growth into a tremendous live force to the watershed leap of 2019’s acclaimed »The Thief«, Horseburner have not only endured, they have progressed.

Horseburner distinguish themselves from their stoner-psych contemporaries with staggering musicianship. Gear-shifting from hard-charging to restrained to urgent and angular, these musical flexes find Horseburner invoking a broader range of tools to craft their driving, soaring, obliterating mini-epics than a lot of bands have in their bags. Never concerned with proving what they can do, they sweep us up in the ease of their brilliance and go places a lot of heavy rock doesn’t.

Their upcoming new album »Voice Of Storms« slated for a June 21st, 2024 release on Blues Funeral Recordings sees the four-piece pushing forward, challenging their abilities and always progressing as far as their ambition can take them. It was recorded and engineered by Neil Tuuri at Amish Electric Chair Studio, mastered by Billy Joe Bowers, with artwork by Brian Mercer and layout by Jacob Dunn.

Jack Thomas – Guitar, Vocals, Keys
Adam Nohe – Drums, Vocals, Percussion
Matt Strobel – Guitar
