To be blunt, this is some great shit, y&#8217;all.\u00a0 I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again.\u00a0 There must be something in the fucking water there that just infects all of the musicians to create absolutely amazing music.\u00a0 The last time I heard Troubled Horse was with 2012\u2019s Step Inside and that album (especially the song \u201cBring My Horses Home\u201d) totally made me a fan.\u00a0 Over the years honestly I would kind of forget about them as they got buried by other bands coming out with new music but this year, I was reminded just what a great fucking band Troubled Horse is with their new album, <em>Revolution on Repeat<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The kick off track, \u201cHurricane\u201d and then right into follow up track, \u201cThe Filthy Ones\u201d completely set the tone for what I knew was going to be an absolutely fantastic album.\u00a0 This time around, Troubled Horse seems to possess a bit more grit and a \u201cfuck it all\u201d attitude.\u00a0 I also love the fact that Troubled Horse marries some of the best bands out there such as Graveyard, Horisont, and Witchcraft.\u00a0 With this being said, I never knew the band\u2019s musically incestuous history as \u00be of the band are former\/current members of Witchcraft and Spiders, two of Sweden\u2019s finest.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eOIBwfoI9f8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This suddenly made so much sense as to how these guys could pull off this sound without sounding like direct rip-offs of these great bands.\u00a0 They were these members of great bands who have now joined forces to combine of all these band\u2019s best qualities into one amazing outfit.\u00a0 On <em>Revolution on Repeat<\/em>, Troubled Horse manages to truly forge their own sound while staying true to the genre and proving that you can truly tell when a band is sincere in their delivery and when they are merely hopping upon the bandwagon.\u00a0 These guys are the real fucking deal and with the show stopping opus, \u201cBleeding\u201d, Troubled Horse delivers one of my new favorite album closers ever.<\/p>\n<p><em>Revolution on Repeat<\/em> is a really fun, exciting album to listen to and in my opinion has placed Troubled Horse in the frontlines as one of the leaders of this genre.\u00a0 They sound absolutely inspired, relentless, and full of fire and passion.\u00a0 Just listen to songs such as \u201cThe Haunted\u201d and the NWOBHM inspired \u201cLet the Bastards Know\u201d and you will see exactly what I mean.\u00a0 Troubled Horse may have made a mark with their debut album but with <em>Revolution on Repeat<\/em>, Troubled Horse has left a giant fucking scar on the face of hard rock music.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For more on Troubled Horse, head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/troubledhorse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/troubledhorse<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troubled Horse \u2013 Revolution on Repeat Release Date: March 31, 2017 Label: Rise Above Records From the first sounds of the band Troubled Horse, it should be no surprise that these guys are Swedish.\u00a0 If I had to describe Troubled Horse to someone, I&#8217;d have to say that it&#8217;s Swedish psych rock with a touch of NWOBHM with a dude who sounds like Jim Morrison&#8217;s bastard child on vocals.
