Ontario (Canada)-based psychedelic dark rock band The Pale Horses is back with a new single, "Morning Star", a fuzz-laden anthem best experienced within the eerie confines of a haunted castle. Following their signature sound, "Morning Star" delves into a provocative exploration of casting off old beliefs, challenging conventional religious dogma, and embracing new alternative philosophies. The track arrives ahead of the band's highly anticipated debut EP Enchantress, set for release via Black Throne Productions on 25 October.
Drawing inspiration from '70s metal, "Morning Star" is driven by captivating guitar riffs and shadowy, vampiric vocals that echo through the heavy fog of fuzz and psychedelia. The result is an atmospheric, spellbinding soundscape that pulls listeners into a world of introspection, leaving them both enthralled and unsettled by the mysteries lurking in the darkness.
The band plays on themes of fear and thrills exploring gothic horror, sex & drugs along with counter culture, occultism and self-empowerment. The earliest formations of the band date back as far as the late 90s as a side project finally coming to fruition in 2024. Previously released bewitching single/video "Never Know" can be still checked out over HERE. Link
