Invisible Oranges had it right calling this record "shimmering." Light glinting off the leaves of the Appalachian foothills suffuses this record. Great songwriting that keeps you engaged even in repeating verses, and emotional chord choices that invoke that special, yearning kind of good melancholy. And kudos to the synth/keyboard work for being right on point, fleshing out the sound without taking over and getting corny. pinkytheent
Grizzling and fizzling Sludge Metal as potent as opium and just as addictive! "Shame Chamber" is a monumental slice of Z-tuned Blues and will probably be my No.1 track of the year! Stevie Reek
Indiana band torch catchy thrash earworms to a sumptuous, blackened crisp; the end result is one of 2024's most promising heavy debuts. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 30, 2024
Horehound succeed in breathing life into the doom/stoner genre. The almost jazz-inspired drumming, and the muscular riffage that leaves you in awe of the fact that they only have one guitarist, are the signature of their sound. Shy's voice is ethereal and haunting, and the thick layers of sound are something I immensely appreciate from all four members. Grooves and riffs for days. Horehound has one of the most well-developed sounds in modern doom, and you should give them a listen! Kelly Phillips
