PALEHORSE “amongst the flock” 12″ Vinyl

Palehorse’s “Amongst the flock” is a new page for Bridge Nine. Bands have fused hardcore and metal before, but Palehorse adds a new dimension to the sounds that have made HATEBREED and INTEGRITY cornerstones within the hardcore world. Of course,Palehorse broadened their horizons and challenged their own songwriting abilities. Now, Palehorse is taking the groundwork laid and mixing it with the discordant melodies from modern influences like TRAGEDY and HIS HERO IS GONE and the intricate guitar work that is not far off from ’80s thrash-metal like EXODUS or NUCLEAR ASSAULT. Combine this broad range of influences with the drumming, the raspy vocals and lyrics touching on everything from religion and politics to personal struggle, and you have a record that is going to surprise everyone who hears it. Production from Jim Siegel (Dropkick Murphys, Blood For Blood) makes every note and hit sound loud and full, giving us a record that is modern crossover at its best and heaviest.
