New album by Sweden's Troubled Horse on Rise Above Records. It's damn good.
From AllThatIsHeavy.com:
"We offer this as more of a geographic reference than a musical one, but if you’re curious about the origins of Troubled Horse, you need look no further than the the same Swedish town, Orebro, that spawned both Graveyard and Witchcraft. The Witchcraft connection actually is even a little more pertinent as Troubled Horse features three members of the original Witchraft line-up, one of which (bassist Ola Henriksson) is still a current member."
"But Troubled Horse is its own beast, so to speak. Like the above-mentioned acts, there is a heavy retro vibe to the band’s Step Inside. However, while they may share a member with Witchcraft, their musical aesthetic is more akin to the garage-rock and ’70s-inspired hard rock stylings of Graveyard. Influences-wise we’re talking the early stuff like Pentagram, Sir Lord Baltimore, MC5 or Dust. It’s all about nonstop grooves, bluesy riffs and a frantic rhythm section."
