WARHORSE – Streaming New Track

With its official reissue now just days away, today Vice Magazine levies the heavy with a stream of “I Am Dying” from legendary Massachusetts doom weavers, WARHORSE.

The gargantuan psalm comes by way of the band’s final EP of the same name, initially unleashed in 2002 and now available as a companion to the band’s As Heaven Turns To Ash… full-length, both given the reissue treatment by Southern Lord Recordings.Long out-of-print, fervently sought after, and unconditionally vital in foreshadowing the glut of current bands that indulge in slow, self-possessed, infernal low-end sound excursions, WARHORSE’s As Heaven Turns To Ash and their subsequent I Am Dying EP still reeks of brimstone, bong smoke, and burning tube amp nearly fifteen years since their respective releases! Both slabs of doom domination will be combined and reanimated on double LP and digital formats courtesy of the Lord.

In commemoration of its release, Vice kicks off your weekend with the sonic enormity of “I Am Dying” noting, “Doom is a careful and meticulous art, and WARHORSE did it right. They blended Sabbath-era blues riffs with obliterating vocals and enough dark walls of sound to transcend all of the usual run-of-the-mill stoner metal. It’s a heavy dose of sludge… While bands like Sleep and Electric Wizard encouraged us to ‘drop out of life with bong in hand’ or mount the dopethrone, WARHORSE conjures a genuine sense of exuberant doom and despair.”

Raise your doom claw to the sounds of “I Am Dying,” now playing at THIS LOCATION.
