Sweden’s HORISONT used their downtime to record two new songs. After releasing “Sheldon Churchyard” (originally by Larry Jon Wilson) the band just made a cover of another obscure gem available on all DSPs: “With a genius melody and a voice that cuts through the mix. A song about the cruel, raw nature of a love affair gone wrong. ‘Lion and the Lamb’ is originally by Phil Everly.”

You can listen to the song here: https://horisont.lnk.to/LionAndTheLamb-Single

While you’re online don’t miss your chance to check out “Sheldon Churchyard” and the fantastic video that you find here: https://youtu.be/8R0Ro21ZoeI

The band comments on the idea of the recordings: “As big fans of country music we wanted to do a couple of songs that people might not expect from us. Still, we wanted them to sound like Horisont. So we set up at Let Them Swing Studio and hit the record button just to see where the songs took us. This is the result. Let Them Swing Studio is a recording studio in the countryside outside of Gothenburg, Sweden, owned and run by Kim and Malin. They rebuilt an old barn on their property and set it up for live recording. With no neighbors in sight, it’s an ideal place to make noise 24-7. A weekend mixed of relaxed creativity and fun.”

Both songs are not part of HORISONT’s acclaimed album “Sudden Death” that was released in May of 2020.

Sweden’s HORISONT used their downtime to record two new songs. First is “Sheldon Churchyard”, originally by Larry Jon Wilson: “That driving groove combined with those enigmatic lyrics really transfer you to another time and place. Let the groove lead the way and see where you’ll wound up.”

The band comments:
” Listen up people! All is not to shit with the world. In times like these, things just have to be handled a bit different. When life hands you lemons and so on… So instead of showing you all our ugly faces in your town, we are broadcasting a world wide live concert from our favourite venue; Pustervik in Gothenburg. Together with us on May 16th, we will have excellent support in the form of SPIDERS. The concert will be free of charge but an option to donate some change both to us and/or Pustervik will be made available to viewers to keep the rock scene going during these testing times. Date of the show is 16th of May, the Saturday after the world release of our new masterpiece SUDDEN DEATH on Century Media Records.
Love from HORISONT”

HORISONT’s “Sudden Death” supercharges their mountainous ascent in an immediate explosion of rich and intricately created songs, but in it’s conception was an artfully crafted 3-year labour of love. The pay-off for HORISONT’s dedicated handiwork is a confidently sumptuous album of monumental, anthemic stadium-sized rock choruses, twin-guitar harmonies, and symphonic piano-laden rock that is as rare as it is catchy and captivating. Having earned their special place in the hearts of the heavy underground, with a dedicated international audience in thrall to the stunning energy of their live shows, HORISONT are a fearlessly inventive tour-de-force of heavy rock.
Vocalist Axel declares that “Our mission was to make the record that WE wanted to do, and not what people expect us to do,” and it is with this irreverent and devil-may-care attitude that HORISONT let’s their music run wild with abandon, undeniably electrifying and moving the listener the way real rock and roll should, a middle finger to current trends.
