Horseback

Chapel Hill experimental metal band Horseback just released a three-disc compilation of rarities and one-offs for Relapse Records called "A Plague of Knowing."  It's amazing.   The half decade's worth of material on this comp finds the band taking on elements of a number of different genres and molding them into a unique sound all their own.  Black metal, drone, stoner metal, doom, psych rock, krautrock, and Americana all make appearances in this sprawling and excellent mix of jams.  They even do us a solid and cover The Stooges.  I highly recommend it.  Take a listen to the slow burning "Heathen Earth" below.
