Thunder Horse Prove There Ain’t No Heavy Like Texas Heavy!


I remember when I first heard Thunder Horse‘s new record Chosen One. All I could think was ‘I know we normally put out heavy music… but this is HEAVY!’

There’s a certain kind of crushing volume that comes from Texas stoner rock I think a lot of other bands could learn from. Seriously check it out: https://music.dropoutmedia.net/Thunderhorse

Thunder Horse bring a stunning mix of crushing riffs with classic metal to the table. It’s a sound that is distinctly there’s and easy to fall in love with. It’s cool to hear a band who owe as much to Angel Witch as they do Sleep!

Chosen One drops on Friday and it’s already been selling like hotcakes. There’s only a few copies left on any format before we run out. With vinyl pressing times being what they are these days who knows when we’ll be able to get a repress in.

So seriously, pick up your copy today. You can get it from the store of your choice by clicking the button below or going here: https://music.dropoutmedia.net/Thunderhorse

PS: How about that cover art? I just love all the details on it. It’s gorgeous. Isn’t that exactly the sort of thing you’d like to have in your record collection so you could pore over it? I thought so. Grab it here: https://music.dropoutmedia.net/Thunderhorse
