Horseburner is another of those little bands that I stumbled across a number of years ago and just adore. Their sound is a bit in the Mastodon sort of vein. Gritty guitars and dual vocals throughout. There is just a very organic and earthy kind of feel to this record. Maybe it’s the West Virginia influence coming through. Or not. Hell, what do I know? I may be getting punchy at this point in the countdown. At any rate, damn good album.
