Terrorhorse have released their debut album titled "This Ain't No Goddamn Mirage." This album really shows off their heaviness of the band, and establishes that this is what they are about. They have a similar sound to that of bands like older Arch Enemy or Job For A Cowboy, so if you like those bands, you could like this album. We think they have done a pretty solid job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to an alright standard. Now we feel this is mainly that the music hasn't quite stood up to the new music tech out there, but that's okay because it is still good. The instrumentation on the album is not bad either, you can tell that these guys can play and it's a pretty nice and brutal sounding album. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are not bad for the style of metal these guys are going for, but it does make the lyrics a little hard to grasp. He has his screams down quite well and the voice really works well with this band. With the lyrics, the band goes for music that is a brutal as possible, not really going for any meaningful message, but just something metalheads can say how heavy and nasty the album is as a whole. Overall we think they did a good job here. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Terrorhorse has made a debut album that really shows how much they are going for that super metal sound. We think they have hit it and it will be nice to see what they can do on a larger scale with a full album. Hopefully this band can get out there more as well. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
