Copenhagen, Denmark’s, HELHORSE started out as 5 man stoner/sludge unit under the name of DØDNING (ghost/goblin in Danish) in 2006. The band added their second vocalist Mikkel Wad Larsen later the same year. The members come from very different musical backgrounds (metal, hc, punk, and rock). Running such a gamut of influences, they found out that diversity would be one of their greatest assets.

After posting just two songs on MySpace in 2007, the band caught fire. They played in support of bands like Black Label Society, Exodus, Opeth, 3 Inches of Blood and had their 1st tour abroad in The Netherlands. The audience reaction was overwhelming and sparked the recording of their 1st EP “DØDNING” which was released in the spring of 2009. Besides the EP release, 2009 also marked a bass player change in the band and the writing/recording process of their debut album. Danish metal legend Jacob Bredahl (HateSphere etc.) in the helm, the band gave it their damnedest, creating a powerful debut album.

2010 was spent in preparation, shows and self -reflection. The past 3 years had the band take a look inside and the decision was made to alter the bands image and expression. As a result, they decided to rename themselves HELHORSE.

“We felt that it was necessary to change our name to something that was more linked to our musical expression. But at the same time we didn’t want to lose the meaning of DØDNING. We found a poem from an old famous Danish writer Steen Steensen Blicher in which the Helhorse (ghost horse) was mentioned as the bringer of death and destruction. HELHORSE is the perfect name for us as it embraces our Nordic roots.”

Freshly renamed, the band released the “For Wolves And Vultures” album in late 2010 via Danish label Mighty Music. It garnered massive recognition both nationally and internationally, with top marks from the critics and lead to several shows in Europe and Denmark at key events like Copenhell, Popkomm and By:Larm, as well as support slots for e.g. Danzig, Valient Thorr and Crowbar.

With the raw, almost unholy, mixture of dirty metal, punk and classic rock, HELHORSE positioned themselves on the Nordic rock/metal stage as a force to be reckoned with. As one of Denmark’s biggest newspapers, Information, said: “Helhorse sounds like the bastard child of Black Sabbath and Black Flag.”

Now already esteemed sludge metallers, HELHORSE dropped their critically acclaimed 2nd album “Oh Death” in the fall of 2013. The album got praise all across the board and was featured on several “album of the year” lists. Now Helhorse had descended into a cultural chaos of Nordic poetry and American death dirges, the title of the concept album “Oh Death” itself was taken from a burial hymn, specially used in Afro-American spirituals of the 18th century. ‘Oh Death’ celebrated death as purification, freedom and a developing factor for human kind, its songs revolving around personal themes like the demise of a love relationship, the liberation from expectations, escape through heavy drinking and philosophical contemplations on how the human race is drawn towards self-destruction. In many ways a journey through a spectrum of emotions from f**k you rock & roll attitude to more introspective songs, ”Oh Death” kicked off the rise of Helhorse. Besides gaining great reviews in magazines like Metal Hammer, Twilight, All Schools and Rockfreaks, the band has gained an ever growing following live. The highlight so far was the festival summer 2014 that saw the band playing Øresunds Festival, Copenhell and Roskilde.

The band has several times been named as one of Denmark’s best live acts and after playing close to 200 shows the last 3 years, Helhorse has become a fierce machine that takes no prisoners live. Ever hungry the band is gearing up to take Helhorse to another new level with the release of their third, eponymous, hard-hitting album (out via Spinefarm Records in xx.yy.2016) and sharpening their collective knives to perfect the creature that is Helhorse.

FFO: High On Fire, Orange Goblin, Down, Crowbar, Alice In Chains.
