Review: Horehound – “Weight” EP

Fifty words on Weight. Well, not counting those.

Pittsburgh champions of dirgy doom-metal follow 2018’s Holocene with a two-song gem. (Sorry, vinyl’s sold out.) Slow and entropic, with serious shout-outs to early Sabbath. The chorus of “Unbind,” the “A side,” could melt Maynard’s face. B-side, with some icy vocals from Shy Kennedy, flirts with Kyuss-style stoner rock. Recommended! – Justin Vellucci, Swordfish, Oct. 3, 2019
