A Plague of Knowing- Singles, Splits, and Rarities

by Horseback

supported by

Tom Colquhoun A cornucopia of gnarly mysticism that draws from drone, black metal, sludge, psychedelic folk with textures of smoke, wood, steel; music that just washes over you but leaves a kind of clarity in its muddy wake. Favorite track: Do You Have a True Feeling? (Plagued Version).

Claire Donner Do you still crave the gothic esoterica of a Nick Cave or Birthday Party, but you're sick of the shticky compositions, predictable theatrics and Big Personality? Come to Horseback. They've got you covered. Favorite track: On the Eclipse.

Saucer So eclectic! And somehow coherent. A black metal artist who employs screaming selectively, sometimes using other styles as best befits the song.

Lots of dreamy and hypnotic and lovely sounds in here, as well as cathartic intensity. Favorite track: TV Eye (Live).

Shaking, buzzing, and constantly moving, Horseback’s music tends to exist in its own strange world, where the distorted swagger of Neil Young’s Crazy Horse sits at a table next to the haunted dronescapes of Sunn O))).

Piedmont Apocrypha
by Horseback

supported by 33 fans who also own “A Plague of Knowing- Singles, Splits, and Rarities”

Their most gentle and pastoral work. Proof that beneath black metal's corpse paint and blast beats are folk tales, spiritual exploration, and... well.... seances in the woods. The dry production makes you feel like you're there. terrellfroese

Primitive And Deadly

All I can really say is THANK YOU Dylan & co. for bringing new,amazing,dense,deep and interesting music into my life.I first heard about Earth through listening to Mark Lanegan 's book "Sing Backwards and Weep",the mention from Mark and also learning of he and Dylan's closely honed friendship and brotherhood of many years peaked my interest and I knew eventually I'd be embarking on this journey of interdimensional sound."Primitive and Deadly" is a masterpiece!!!!! monobri73
