Customer Reviews:

Uttery fantastic specimen of heavy stoner rock........2005-03-06

Most of the reviews posted cover the basics of how I feel about this band/album. To surmise: crushing, fantastic, technical, and utterly unforgetable.

My personal favorite is Scrape. The lyrics are simple but ingenius. The riffs are titanic. The middle has this mellow bluesy interlude and then right at minute nine it comes in with the heavy riffs and this pale-toned stoney laid back flaring solo that is amazing.

Simply an album any fan of the stoner rock/doom genre can not be without.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.......2005-02-11

Let's get high. Let's get together and jam. *light bulb comes on* Let's record it, too! And let's make it f***ing HEAVY! Let's turn people's heads when we grind out these guitars!

I believe Warhorse's thought process may have gone something like that prior to this release. The vocals are growly and muffled by the guitars, which is a good thing (not because the vocals are dislikable, but because the guitars are just so damn LIKABLE). I hear art here too. These guys are musicians (of a bluesy variety as a couple others have said). The instrumental tracks are excellent to chill to.

This isn't funeral doom. There's no death here. You are just doomed. And there's nothing you can do about it... except listen to really heavy music.

...

As a side note, if you DO crave some funeral doom, I highly recommend Evoken - Quietus.

Like being bludgeoned with a sack full of molasses.......2004-02-11

If stoned zombies played pissed off death metal, it would most likely resemble the formidable tar pit rock of Warhorse. Stumbling inebriates attempting to walk the line between doom metal and pot rock have forever blurred the distinction between the genres with each accidentally inspired step, and it's in their still fresh path that Warhorse prepare for battle. With who seems to be a moot point. These boys are just looking for a fight. "As Heaven Turns To Ash" appears to be burning on a colossal roundup of the world's remaining fossil fuels, belching fire and spitting acid from the depths of a brimming smokestack. The semi-acoustic interludes "Amber Vial" and "Dawn" by comparison can only be mourning the fact that current technology does not allow the band to get any heavier. So fill the bong one last time and raise a toast to Armageddon.

HEAVY AS HELL!.......2001-10-25

Monolithic,powerful, and introspective. This work of art is deserving of the highest praise. WARHORSE are as visionary as Hendrix, Black Sabbath, or any kind of music that farther extends beyond the relms of reason or sanity......

Heavy, Heavy, Heaviest.......2001-05-08

I bought this simply from a recommendation that it was similar to Electric Wizard, and also because of the sticker on the front that said "Heaviest debut of the Millenium". That is definately true. While the music is akin to Electric Wizard more that any other band, I have to say that the album sounds much less rough, much more polished than any of the Electric Wizard albums. Also they break up the lengthy, doomy vocal tracks with surprising and almost beautiful musical interludes. An impressive mix of great musicianship and super-heavy riffs. One of the best albums in the genre I've ever purchased, and definately the heaviest.
