Biography
”You can feel it in your stomach when Helhorse relinquishes the reins and rides across the steppes. With a mixture of rock’n’roll, metal, sludge and punk, the Danes have set a high standard for creating a darkened rock party as if it were the last station before the zombie apocalypse.” Roskilde Festival 2014 


With the 2013 release of the album ‘Oh Death’ Helhorse descend into a cultural chaos of Nordic poetry, American death requiems with an uplifting gaze at death.
The Title ‘Oh Death’ is taken from a so called “dirge” – a burial hymn, specially used in Afro-American spirituals of the 18th century, said to have its origin in the southern parts of the Appalachian Mountains.
The songs revolve around very personal themes like, the death of a love relationship, the liberation from expectations of others and yourself, escape through massive amounts of alcohol and more philosophical contemplations on how we as a race are drawn towards our own self destruction.
This is in many ways a journey through a specter of emotions – from fuck you rock & roll attitude to more introspective songs.

”Oh Death” kicked off the rise of Helhorse. Besides gaining massive amounts of great reviews in magazines like Metal Hammer DE & UK, Twilight, All Schools and Rockfreaks, the band has also been gaining an ever growing following live. The climax so far was a fantastic festival summer, were the band played, Øresunds Festival, Copenhell and Roskilde Festival. 

And it is live were Helhorse shine. The band has several times been named as one of Denmark’s best live acts and after playing close to 200 shows the last 3 years, Helhorse has become a fierce machine that takes no prisoners live. Ever hungry the band is gearing up to take Helhorse to a whole new level in the coming years, with the release of their third album (expected in 2015) and sharpening their collective knives to perfect the creature that is Helhorse.
