about

"Sword Horse make blackened doom metal that, like the title of their new EP, reeks pleasantly of affliction, portraying a world that one withdraws from, not out of apathy, but in disgust. In fact titles such as “Affliction” and “In Disgust” mark this recording as not fragile-friendly. The noise and chaos are relentless through all four tracks but more importantly, display a command of the genre that surely comes from mythic experience. Track two, “Varmint” begins with apocalyptic explosions and a rattling, booming drum accompaniment that seems to suggest the evil imperatives of a sick beast. Percussion plays an important part—in a descriptive sense—on this recording, forming the basis for the terrible visions each track conjures and then puts away, insouciantly. There’s enough feedback and growling menace on Affliction to stun a horse, sword or not."
