Known as "ninentendocore" because of their keyboards that sound like an '80s video game, Horse The Band returns with an unusual and interesting sophomore album. Their music is hardcore mixed with some thrash metal and the ever present keyboards. They are heavy, fast and intense, but also very creative and unique.
Grade: 87
