Review:
I
am a bit late to the party with this excellent EP. But better late
than never.
So what do we have with
Funeral Horse and their stunning début EP – Savage Audio Demon. A
blistering Doom/Stoner/Sludge Metal power trio from Houston, USA
whose stunning EP is packed full of gigantic riffs to slay you with.
First track – The
Fedayeen – instantly draws you in with it's hypnotic and tribal
based riffs. This track has a killer psych edge running through it's
veins. Embrace this track with open arms and you will justly be
rewarded with stunning riffs to rock out to.
Second Track –
Crushed Under Shame and Misery – sees the band expertly change
styles altogether by going for a more man Hardcore Punk/Sludge Rock
vibe compared to the excellent first track. It shows that Funeral
Horse aren't afraid to experiment with their sound. It's a 3 minute
Punk Rock track to show these guys can play fast-paced riffs if they
want to compared to the psych hazy riffs of The Fedayeen.
Third Track –
combines the the first two track vibes with a great dose of good old
fashioned rock and roll and it's possibly the EP's finest track. This
one had me rocking out from start to finish. Lead vocalist Paul is on
fine form here though the band do experiment more with their sound by
adding hazy sound effects for a great Punk/Stoner/Sludge Rock finish.
Funeral Horse start to
feel more comfortable in their musical surroundings on the next track
– Scatter My Ashes On The Mississippi. A Blues Rock/Punk
Rock/Sludge Rock number that has plenty of great riffs to boogie on
down to. Possibly the EP's finest track.
Wings Ripped Apart and
Invisible Hand of Revenge end this EP on a great end. Each of them
having their own different styles of riffs that will have you coming
back for more. Wings Ripped Apart has some superb Thin Lizzy style
guitar worship going on near the very end. So check it out just for
that killer riff.
All in all, Funeral
Horse have released a stunning début EP to check out. It bodes well
for their eagerly awaited album due out on April 2014 and I will make
it my mission to review it as quickly as possible.
You can check this EP
out for yourselves as the band have it available for Buy Now Download
from BandCamp now. So head-over there now and get yourself along to
possibly the most fun funeral you're ever likely to goto.
Excellent and Highly
Recommended.
