BIO:
Horehound had become a Pittsburgh,
PA hometown heavy underground
favorite quite soon after forming in early 2015, performing with both local
legends and well-known touring acts. In one year, Horehound released their
self-titled debut album (both digital and CD) in April 2016, via Blackseed
Records. The album immediately coiled around the heavy music media world,
appearing for two consecutive months on the Doom Charts collaborative, and
cemented their standing as more than just local favorites.
Recently Horehound has engaged that debut album for a 2018
re-release with Hellmistress Records, the new East Coast label of veteran
Melanie Streko (All That Is Heavy, Meteor City Records). The re-release is
anticipated in early spring and will be re-mixed/mastered for both CD and vinyl
pressing, including a bonus cover song, "Mysterons" originally
written and performed by Portishead.
Fans have described Horehound as “fucking heavy, doomy,
catchy, and downright amazing.” Horehound would not disagree, citing their inspirations
as Kyuss, (the) Melvins, and Alice
in Chains, but you can hear a heavier sludge inspiration dwelling in the
grinding guitar, haze-laden bass, bruising drums, and ethereally demanding
vocals.
Horehound has made it quite evident in recent performances
that their current lineup – including founding members Shy Kennedy (vocals) and
Brendan Parrish (guitar) – have found their true sound with drummer JD Dauer
and bassist Nick Kopco.
The quartet is fiercer and impassioned to demonstrate it in
sharing their next recording, currently being mixed and mastered for a 2018
release. The six track, Holocene, maintains the original Horehound-heavy, but
has driven into deeper depths of dark, hardened post-doom metal. More
information on the new release and the band to come.

Media Reception to Horehound:
"Horehound is a fantastic band on the way up, and 2018
should be the year that doom metal fans outside of Pittsburgh start buzzing this band up."
~ Metal Injection
"Horehound deliver stoner doom grooves, drenched
distortion and fuzz underpinned with solid, tight rhythms and fronted by
powerful and distinctive vocals... Horehound play it real, with feel and
attitude." ~ Doom Charts
"Horehound is a band that all fans of Thee almighty riff should put on their watch list. There’s great balance to be found on their debut Self-Titled and they constantly fluctuate their songwriting tactics so that each of the album’s seven original compositions stands apart from one another." ~ Teeth of The Divine
