4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not quite 4 stars..., April 27, 2001

...but they deserve to be a little overrated. Kinghorse was one of the inventors of the metal-punk sound, although it's always the immitators, never the innovators, who get all the glory.

The sound is tight and razor-sharp. Black Sabbath meets Black Flag, but with a healthy dose of originality and mania all their own. Kinghorse, their debut CD is a wild ride though screaching vocals, whoa-ho-ho chants, and crazy lyrics. Don't pay attention to the ego of their producer, Glenn Danzig, who slapped his own name on the album three times as big as anyone else's. This invites undue criticism and comparisons to Danzig, with whom they have very little in common. Kinghorse stands alone.

If Kinghorse had come to the fore in the mid-90s instead of the late 80s they might have rocketed to the top. They were the blend of metal and punk that everyone was looking for without knowing it. The lyrics and personality of frontman Sean Garrison played an important part in their regional rise to prominence. They released another album on Slamdek that is worth obtaining and there are unreleased mp3s and videos floating around on the Internet that can be found via Google.

5.0 out of 5 stars A secret treasure, March 1, 2004

This review is from: Kinghorse (Audio CD)

Fast, hardcore, metal, unique: These 4 elements make up the amazing concotion know as Kinghorse. Basically a relentless battery of anger with occasional melodic expressions. I bought this album the month it was released and immediately loved it. Memorable riffs and lyrics with a splash of hardcore make this a metal feast for the ears. I think this album is too intense for most people 'cause everyone I know hates it except me. I still listen to this record when I want something unique to kick me awake. This album puts the current music scene to shame. Sadly, Kinghorse didn't last long enough to make other albums but this record will always be a powerful stab of emotion. Kinghorse is one of the most unique bands I have ever heard.
