POWERPLAY MAGAZINE
Made up of front man/guitarist Paul Bearer, drummer Chris Bassett and new addition, Clint Rater on bass, FUNERAL HORSE return to the fold this June with a brand-new studio album; their third in the canon for the Houston-based record label, Artificial Head Records.
Catching up on almost three years in the wilderness since the release of their 2015's stoned-opus, Divinity For The Wicked, Psalms For The Mourning finds the industrious Texan trio revamping the thunderous doom-pop and hard rock that secured their cult status amidst the current crop of underground US rock. As an aural monument for the maligned, Divinity! made several inroads into the media with positive reviews from the likes of Terrorizer and Decibel, but here on Psalms For The Mourning, Funeral Horse serve up a true rock 'n' roll sermon for the masses. It's an album that's positively waiting to be picked up and played by those that have chosen their whole lives to turn on, tune in and drop out in pursuit of volume.
Amid a mass brawl of fresh proto-metal riffs, warped vocals, neo-folk and red eyed '80s post-hardcore punk, under the influence of bands such as THE MELVINS, LED ZEPPLIN, KYUSS and HARVEY MILK, the sonic experimentation FUNERAL HORSE found on previous albums remains, but is now deeply woven into their songs and not separated into stand-alone pieces. This is music to gouge minds to. From the seemingly/misleadingly upbeat opener 'Better Half of Nothing', to the brooding and bold 'No Greater Sorrow (Than My Love)' and outright brutality of 'Sacrifice of A Thousand Ships', the band opens its doors once more to an even wider world of distortions and digressions.
"We took more time writing and recording this material, taking in the turmoil from touring and personal conflicts and the loss of some good friends along the way," explains frontman Paul Bearer. "We've kept to the roots of who we are but the band's tours in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Mexico last year was another big factor in the amount of care and time we took with the album. Those tours exposed us to some amazing bands and people who have helped to share in what the band is today."
