Legal Stuff Apart.......2007-04-21

To understand this review, take a look at the reviews of the other volumes in this series...
Some of the music on this series is so weird and beautiful that the composers should be grateful that it is released here. They should think of this series as a sampler which might atract us, the general public, into further investigation of their work, which we most probably would have never had the chance to hear it or become aware of its existence or of the composers/artists. Don't be so greedy... for I believe you have been done a favor. The same goes for the other volumes of this series. TWO THUMBS UP!

"No Chance" turning this down! Go for it!.......2007-06-21

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

When Deep Purple made the change and Rod Evans (Vocals) and Nick Simper (Bass) were gone, the latter would become part of one of the most underrated and powerful bands of the 1970's.

The debut from Warhorse (Self-titled) may not have gotten the global appreciation that Deep Purple has (Well deserved) but they could be proud of the contents.

If this will be your initial listening, the album gets cooking after the first cut "Vulture Blood." For those that thought they were going to hear Black Sabbath style metal, Warhorse (Especially with the organ) is closer to the great sound of Deep Purple during their first two LP's.

"Burning" and "Ritual" are standout selections. The compositions range from roughly four to eight minutes and are constructed to get the maximum effect with the unnecessary overkill.

The music is intense, adventurous, and original enough (Excluding one track) to call their own. One fascinating note is the cover of a song the Easybeats were known for "St. Louis."

Look for the release with the bonus tracks four live cuts and a Nick Simper demo. The fidelity is terrific with a good mix all the way through.

After digesting the fine rock and roll for the next meal look for the second album "Red Sea."

Enjoy the music and be well,

The Warhorse Wagon.......2006-09-03

The liner notes credit Warhorse with talent and innovation, saying they were among the Heavy Rock bands of the early seventies and worthy of some credit. When the first album was released under the Vertigo label, the band found themselves being compared to Black Sabbath, also on Vertigo. Heavy guitar aside, however, Warhorse sound nothing like Black Sabbath. As the notes point out, Warhorse had a Hammond organ. In fact, if you want comparisons to contemporary heavy bands of the early seventies I would say look no further than Uriah Heep. There are several instances on this album the Warhorse sound very similar to the Heep, and during one track I couldn't help but think of Vanilla Fudge's album "Renaissance".

Two main differences, however, would be guitarist Ged Peck's playing style, which sounds very much as though he graduated from the Ritchie Blackmore School Of Guitar. The resemblance to Blackmore's style and sound is notable on at least three tracks, especially on "Ritual", which has a guitar solo and rhythm quite similar to Deep Purple's "Wring That Neck" (almost a direct rip-off in one part). It should come as no surprise then to find DP's original bass player, Nick Simper, as the leader of the Warhorse group. Perhaps he just had to have a Blackmore-esque guitarist along with a Hammond organ. The other distinguishable sound of Warhorse is the vocal effort of Ashley Holt. A guy who can scream out notes when he wants to, Ashley Holt has a distinct voice, though not always in a favourable way. On "No Chance" he sounds more like he's half reading, half singing in a bored tone. The lyrics sound equally boring. Ashley Holt generally does not have an exciting voice in my opinion, though when he gets going, as in "St. Louise", he can let it rip.

The album starts off a bit slow, meaning it doesn't seem to do anything exciting or interesting until the third track, "Burning", and then does alright for the next three tracks. My personal favourite is the final track "Woman of the Devil", which actually does sound a little like Sabbath near the beginning. The liner notes suggest the band's lack of success can be blamed on poor timing with record deals and internal problems but to me they just don't sound as exciting as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple or Uriah Heep.

Warhorse in their debut glory.......2005-03-08

Here is Warhorse-if you like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, then put this CD on, turn up the volume and jam on it! Apparently formed around the bassist and the early vocalist of Deep Purple, there are definite parallels to that band, but really they more closely mirror Uriah Heep. This is not to say they are a cheap knock-off of that band or that Ashley Holt's vocals (thought almost dead on for Deep Purple or the Heep again) are without power of their own. Stylistically the album is saturated with towering, cathedral-like keyboards, but there is also opportunity for soloing on guitarist Ged Peck's part-although he tends to favor the rhythmic power-chord approach while the main solos are given over to Frank Wilson, the keyboardist. The power tracks are the heavy, funky "Vulture", "Burning" (a great Peck solo on this), the primal scream of "Ritual", and "Woman of the Devil". The less-heavy, more interesting tracks are "No Chance", a great ballad of sorts; the awesome "St. Louis", a rock-out that echoes Steve Miller (think "Living in the USA"); but for me the best track is slow-burn of "Solitude" where everything good about Warhorse gelled into one gloriously haunting track (Holt is especially outstanding here) that will stay with you long after you shelve this CD for something else to listen to. The bonus tracks are great additions. I can't say that the live versions give you an idea of the power they evoked on stage; for the most part they sound exactly like the (usually superior) studio versions. "Miss Jane" is interesting because it signals the less heavier approach they were to take on their disappointing follow-up, "Red Sea". The live version of "Solitude" is shorter and almost rushed. Peck's guitar solo is still great, however. "Woman of the Devil" is the only song that seems to improve on itself; Poole's drumming is particularly ferocious here. At the end of the day, Warhorse is what it is: a long over-looked timepiece of early seventies hard progressive rock that deserves a visit every now and then-preferably more now than then.

As Deep As Purple.......2000-09-03

With Nicky Simper (bass) of the original Deep Purple lineup as the founding member, it's little wonder that this album's work is very close to his former band. Singer Ashley Holt sounds like a cross between Rod Evans and Ian Gillan (complete with patented scream) and Mac Poole has the early Ritchie Blackmore guitar sound down to a tee. The songs are organ-driven heavy rock in the very tradition of Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. Fans of those bands are almost sure to be won over. This album is a gem of early UK progressive hard rock, and before the band turned to a more R&B style on Red Sea. Just as Rod Evans proved his talents with Captain Beyond, so did Nicky Simper prove that he was a hard rock soldier to be reckoned with. It was Deep Purple's loss. This album rocks!

A hard-rocking debut, from a great, but short lived band........1999-04-16

When bassist Nick Simper was unceremoniously fired from Deep Purple in the summer 1969, he wasted little time in getting back on his feet. After a brief stint with the Marsha Hunt band, he formed Warhorse, along with ex-Hunt bandmates Mac Poole and Ged Peck. Musically similiar to early Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, Warhorse achieved a degree of success in Europe, but sadly, never got their LP's released in the States. With Simper's aggressive bass lines,the screaming lead work of Ged Peck, the swirling Hammond organ of Frank Wilson (who incidentally, replaced their original keyboardist, future Yes man Rick Wakeman), Mac Poole's drumming and vocalist Ashley Holt, they forged a style that was heavy, progressive, and fresh. It's unfortunate they didn't get the exposure they deserved, as the band was very good. Warhorse lasted long enought to release a second album "Red Sea" in 1972, but folded shortly after.

Never a "Bad Time" for Warhorse!.......2007-06-21

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

Chapter two of the Warhorse saga "Red Sea" is equal to its predecessor the self-titled debut. Deep Purple's first bass-player Nick Simper is back with more rock and organ based roll. If you own one you'll want to complete the set.

If you have enjoyed the great sounds of the first two Deep Purple records and or Atomic Rooster this band will look good in the CD collection!

"Back In Time" and "Confident But Wrong" cut through the speakers with no apologies. "I (Who Have Nothing)" is a great cover of an old rhythm and blues tune. Warhorse slows things down a notch but still engraves their initials all over.

Once again there are the must have bonus tracks. Five of the six were going to make up a third album that unfortunately wasn't to be. One of those tunes you don't want to overlook. "Bad Time" is good enough to have been included on either release. The other ones from the vaults are not throw away songs. The previously released track (On the first LP) is a live version of "Ritual."

The fidelity is fine and the mix of the instruments is pleasing. It's never a bad time for Warhorse!

Enjoy the music and be well,

Red Sea Warhorse.......2003-07-21

This is a cd that I recommend thoroughly, for whos love the rock, because we can listen the notes of the vocalist of the group and the strident guitars and the compass of the drums. If they can buys it.

Purple sea.......2003-01-21

For those who like me just love the 70's hard rock period, WARHORSE is one of those second base bands worth knowing.
If you're a lil bit into DEEP PURPLE's history, you'll know that WARHORSE was formed around NICK SIMPER after he left DP late 1969.It is impossible not to make a comparaison between the two bands, not only because of Simper's presence but also because of the type of music, the same type of line-up(lead singer, lead guitarist, Hammond keyboardist, bass and drums) and the similarity between the lead singers(hard, powerful, warm and screamy).
Of course WARHORSE never released tracks as powerfull as SPEED KING or HIGHWAY STAR but went for songs like BIRD HAS FLOWN, WHY DIDN'T ROSEMARY and definitely WRING THAT NECK(this incredibly groovy bass line is re-used on more than one occasion on both albums) from DP's Mark I.
Both WARHORSE 's albums are very good but remain in the shadow of the giant Purple for both quality of the compositions and musicians skills.
Hard Rythm and blues, long guitar and keyboards solos, solid bass lines, WARHORSE proposes excellent 70's tunes.
This CD features some LIVE versions which I would be curious to hear but unfortunatelly they don't appear on the edition I own, also this CD is not a Best of...it is RED SEA , their second and last release.
Too bad WARHORSE only made two records, I'm sure that with a little bit of perseverence they could have been a serious rival to Uriah Heep.

Solid Second.......2000-09-03

Peter Parks replaces original guitarist Ged Peck on this 2nd Warhorse album, but the comparisons to Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple remain. This time out, the band chose a more R&B heavy rock sound and with less Gillan-esque screeching from Ashley Holt. They still rock hard on "Back In Time" (with its long guitar solo) and the appropraitely mistitled instrumental "Mouthpiece" (with its long drum solo). However, the atmosphere is more mellow and lacks the driving force of the self-titled debut. Still recommended to fans of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and progressive hard rock in general. Solid album that should be well received by those who enjoyed the first.

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.
