There actually is a small town in Ohio called Black Horse. We might have gone a little bit overboard with the gloomy theme on this song, but we definitely had fun with it in the studio.
lyrics
Lay your soul to sleep
The blade cuts deep
When the reaper reaps
Tongues of fire grow
Unholy glow
From the depths below
The hounds of hell will howl
They paw the earth and growl
They hear their master now
Their's nothing you can do
Your nightmares coming true
The rider comes for you
Pale rider on a Blackhorse
Cast all hope aside
No one can hide
When the rider rides
Sees with sightless eyes
He holds the threads
He keeps the prize
Your self-control will fail
At the telling of the tail
Of the rider pale
Hold your children tight
To the sacrificial light
The rider rides tonight
Pale rider on a Blackhorse

I first came across SGT Thunderhoof on their spilt with Howling Giant. The quality of their track compelled me to search for more. And were better to start than the beginning. There are only 5 songs on this album, but, as you’ll discover when you start listening, the SGT love his long tunes that eb & flow with walls of sound punctuated with meandering interludes. This album just gets better the further you get through it. The other reviews are right. Not their best but still really good. Harry Harrison

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.” Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 12, 2016
