Horseburner Sign to Hellmistress Records; New Video & Tour Dates Posted
Just a scant couple of days before West Virginian progressive heftbringers Horseburner strike out on tour with Maryland’s Cavern, shooting as far north as Canada in support of their 2016 debut album, Dead Seeds, Barren Soil (review here). Today, the newly-minted Hellmistress Records announces it will put its stamp on an official release for that record before the end of 2017, CD and LP both. Horseburner are the first pickup for Hellmistress, and as they’ve already sold through self-released pressings of the album, yeah, it seems like a solid grab on the part of label founder Melanie Streko, formerly of MeteorCity.
Marking both occasions — the tour and the signing; keep up — Horseburner also have a new video for “Eleleth” that you can see at the bottom of this post, right under the press release I wrote and received back down the trusty PR wire, which follows here:
HORSEBURNER Sign to Hellmistress Records; On Tour Starting this Week
West Virginia progressive heavy rockers unveil “Eleleth” video
Horseburner will release their debut full-length, Dead Seeds, Barren Soil, via Hellmistress Records on July 14 to coincide with the launch of a tour alongside Maryland’s Cavern. Today, they premiere a video for “Eleleth,” the album’s longest and closing track.
The progressive heavy rockers – recently announced as taking part in the inaugural Descendants of Crom Festival on Sept. 30 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – originally issued Dead Seeds, Barren Soil digitally in July 2016. After a massive response to the album, Hellmistress Records snapped up the band for the CD and an impending vinyl release due later this year.
“I’ve had my eye on Horseburner for a while,” notes Hellmistress Records founder Melanie Streko, formerly of MeteorCity. “They’re the perfect band to launch the label, with a take on heavy that’s their own. Dead Seeds, Barren Soil kicked my ass and I’m excited to give their album a wider audience! They put on an amazing high energy show so be sure to catch them live when they come to town!”
Horseburner are set to begin their stint of East Coast tour dates this week, and will head through Ohio and into Canada before circling back into New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Washington D.C., with bassist Mike Lorenzen pulling double-duty also playing in Cavern. Dates follow here:
