"The Invisible Mountain"-Horseback


"The Invisible Mountain" by Horseback is terrifying in a way that only doom metal can be. The vocals sound like a crack addict from hell's morning after sweet nothings, the guitars move back and forth from ambient clean sweetness to fuzzy distorted hellishness. The bass is low and gutteral and the percussion is raspy and dissonant. If you're looking to listen to something dark when you're stoned or even when you're just feeling a little out of this world, check out this album. It's a phantom world of darkness as evil as it is mysterious. Saucy's Picks: the first two tracks of the four track album are a little hard to listen to in a sober state, but the final two, "The Invisible Mountain" and "Hatecloud Dissolving Into Nothing" despite their length, are epic and well-crafted.
