Brandon Richier (Vocals, Guitar), David Atkinson (Bass) and Nate Marcy (Drums) have produced an outstanding debut record. To sound so poised, so captivating, utterly mesmerising, often, with their first recorded output, is nothing short of astonishing. As soon as Burial Songs begins, with bleak, simmering sitar and death march percussion, you are locked into Palehorse/Palerider’s doom-laden groove, and for the next 40 minutes you are taken to all of the right places at all of the right times.
