Drawing influence from doom, drone, black metal, and even Americana, Horseback is the post-metal project of Chapel Hill, North Carolina's Jenks Miller. Horseback seamlessly blends the plaintiveness of roots music with the weight of metal, exposing a connection between the genres that is both intuitive and innovative. In a short time, Miller has been prolific since his debut Impale Golden Horn and its followup The Invisible Mountain in 2009. . Half Blood was released in 2012 followed by the dark explorations of Piedmont Apocrypha in 2014, while 2016's Dead Ringers marked a return to Relapse. ~ Gregory Heaney
