Artist description Mountain-sized THC inspired riffs that move planets combined with soul crushing psychedelia. Tidal waves of sound emit from lower-than-low oppression. "…as high priests of doom, Warhorse will lead us directly to salvation. They will not betray their faith in almighty riff. Warhorse has heavy parts to equal any of the greats (Burning Witch, Electric Wizard, Sleep), but they also have graceful and delicate parts that are comparable with Mogwai, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. This is one of THE great heavy rock/doom records. Period." - Roadburn

Press Reviews "Lysergic Communion...a plodding, bludgeoning assault on the senses...this record will leave you sicker than it found you. Revel in it. No doubts: WarHorse is one of the heaviest bands on Earth..." - Stoner Rock Rules! website "...the songs plod and chop through a haze of marijuana smoke, fields of 'shrooms, and apocalyptic imagery...some of the heaviest mind-expanding tripped-out doom sludge this side of the Atlantic." - Serpent Eve zine "…tucked amidst what the band admits is "total Sabbath worship" with touches of Eyehategod and Sleep are noticeable elements of the death metal underground from which the band was spawned and an admiration for the oddly beautiful dynamics of Pink Floyd...an earthquake-force introduction to a trio of grizzled veterans who just might have revitalized the doom scene by squashing it beneath its battle-worn hooves." - Blistering Zine "…some of the strangest, strangulated guitar solos to date, in a freak explosion of multi-tracked, super-muffed fretwork that sounds like a thousand Iommis launched skyward at once. Heavy." - Eat Mag "Stretching notes into years, the undisputed heavyweight champions of North American Doom have given birth to a sprawling wasteland of thudding grief and spiraling catastrophe…a bruising testament to just how thunderous a guitar, bass, and drum kit can be." - Boston's Weekly Dig
