◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Exploding Horse is not for the weak of heart, for the simple-minded, or for anybody who does not want to totally fuck their neck up, and it does not matter the reasons behind their recent name change. Do not be thrown off by some of the titles they have given their songs – Blonde Mustache, Turbo Tommy, The Great Mechanical Pig – for these names do not dive into the music deeply enough. You have to listen to each of them and feel all the passion, rage, and disturbing similarities to ourselves to truly know where these guys come from. The Carolina’s metal scene is for sure alive and well, and the music I had lost touch with for so many years has come back into my life with the exact sound that Exploding Horse brings to my mind when thinking of where the aura of death metal had gone.

Exploding Horse blends all their favorite styles of metal into their songs and keeps their music and stage show full of epic, over the top energy and aggression that is unmatched by most. Exploding Horse appeals to all metal crowds ranging from new school metal core kids to the old school die hard thrashers and moshers. Exploding Horse has played shows with:

The Black Dahlia Murder/Goatwhore/Exhumed/Havok/Norma Jean/Stick To Your Guns/Impending Doom/Arkaik/Cattle Decapitation/Anal Cunt/Through the eyes of the dead/Psyopus/Wretched/Graves of Valor/By the sins Fell Angels/ Dr. Acula/Abacabb/Malevolent Creation/Onward to Olympus/Intronaut/Behold...the arctopus/The Classic Struggle/Arsis/Catalepsy/Mobile death camp/Municipal Waste/The Demonstration/Shat/The Abominable Iron Sloth/Strong Intention/Anal Blast/Double Negative/ White Rhino

Please take note, the band was originally known as ZEUS and released their debut EP through Amazon and iTunes under that moniker; looking at images on Reverb Nation, it also seems they initially put out "The Great Mechanical Pig" as ZEUS prior to changing their name to EXPLODING HORSE (the cover art seen on RN says "Zeus" instead of "Exploding Horse", though as you can see from the cover art we posted here, the band ended up changing it to fit the new title).

lyrics

She sits on a throne that's made of
the exoskeletons of all her defeated foes
past wars have molded her power into a monarchy
soon she will be unstoppable
infesting her way to the top
queen of the parasites
causing all to rot
her kingdom is rich with carcasses
for all of the peasants and all the drones
to eat and gain there strength
so they can build her towers
evil larvae fill the palace
they are being birthed for the wars to come

[ACCORDING TO VOCALIST BRENNON, IN AN INTERVIEW WHERE HE BROKE DOWN THE MEANING OF EACH SONG ON THE DEBUT RECORD, "QUEEN OF THE PARASITES" HAS THIS STORY BEHIND IT:

"This song is about an evil insect warlord queen who has become a terrorist in the parasitic world. She sends her minions into battle to overthrow other kingdoms and build her empire. The throne that she sits on is made of the exoskeletons of passed dictators she’s defeated."

Weightless at Dawn
by Truthseeker

supported by 6 fans who also own “Queen Of The Parasites”

Truthseeker sert-il à Brendan James Hayter et Alex Fewell, deux artistes versés dans le death metal, d'excursion éphémère hors du sentier ? Je pose cette question parce que ce projet n'a eu le droit qu'à deux sorties : Weightless at Dawn que nous avons ici et Blue Oblivion sorti la même année — et depuis, rien. C'est bien dommage au vu de toutes les qualités réunies dans ce petit E.P. : bien que taillées dans un post-rock assez lent à tendances doom metal, c'est d'une légèreté exceptionnelle !
