SLOW HORSE II
This has got to be one of the most depressing albums ever recorded. It's in a doom style and as the band name suggests they are pretty slow, not the slowest but snail like and heavy as fuck. I thought I had their first album but turns out it's Slow Horse II that I own. The first one sounds great, I'm just listening to it on yootoob.

This music is never going to appeal to the average music fan but I love it and will do my best to track down their first album which was released in 1999.THANK YOU ENCYCLOPAEDIA METALLUM: http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
There lyrics are not to my usual taste to be honest. I prefer my DOOM to be about Demons from the foulest pits of HADES!!! These songs are all about what cunts women can be and while I agree to an extent the misogyny on show here is a bit extreme. So you got dumped and treated like shit by a few bitches? Big deal, learn and move on. It does make for some pretty depressing songs though and that is all that really matters. It's ART man ;D
***NB***Not to be mistaken for the really quite good German country band Slow Horses! Your country music loving auntie would not thank you for Slow Horse...or would she???
Ah I'd never given them the listen that they deserved, until now. Very good stuff
ReplyDeleteIt's a classic of depression and fills me with delicious feelings of the futility of it all ;D
