Bit of a strange, but certainly angry record this. Not quite sure how I'd pigeon-hole it which is even more odd when considered it doesn't have the most original of sounds, but as it's produced by Glen Danzig, I could only describe it as an angrier Danzig, certainly with elements of hardcore and thrash, the vocals of Sean Garrison somewhere between Mindfunk's Pat Dubar and Danzig himself, and musically it's raw and brooding, and certainly streetwise.
The album features a stonking cover design by Pushead who designed alot of Metallica's early sleeves, but in a way the cover is a misinterpretation, because this record has such a hardcore sound, the furious 'Caged' bounds along, 'Brother Doubt' has an almost awkward menace but there's no denying the power of the record and its black rhythms, straight to the face punches delivered short, sharp and swiftly, 'Descend' and 'As I Stand' are simply no thrills power rock, so if you like your music with muscularity, give Kinghorse a try.
6/10
