Achilles
The Dark Horse
Hex CD

The Dark Horse is a jagged and rigid rampage of wild razor-sharp hardcore worth getting cut on.

Achilles does a perfect job of keeping their aural thumping interesting song after song. Like a fine-toothed saw continuously cutting and grinding at your auditory nerves, Achilles' sound is temperamental, angular, thick as skulls, and extremely loud.

The Dark Horse is definitely an exciting jab that will keep your mind on edge and alert.

For fans of Coalesce, Botch, Breather Resist, Deadguy, and Norma Jean, Achilles is your new favorite unpredictable powerhouse. Sometimes The Dark Horse is complex and knotty, other times it's simple, melodic, and straightforward, but one thing remains constant from track one to track ten; Achilles' skillful sturdy and relentless biting hardcore is refreshing.

The Dark Horse will stamp listeners with a heavy impact that will be hard to shake from their mind.
