Together since 2008 and borne from the wild Appalachian green of West Virginia, Horseburner has never cowered from hard toil. From performing their first live show, self-recording and releasing two EPs (2009’s Dirt City and Strange Giant in 2013), putting on an inaugural tour in 2011, and releasing their debut full-length album, Dead Seeds, Barren Soil in 2016, the band has, quite simply, done it all themselves.
Having played hundreds of shows over the past decade, performing alongside acts such as Torche, Weedeater, Goatwhore, Obituary, Corrosion of Conformity, The Obsessed, Karma to Burn, and Bell Witch, in 2017 the band reissued their debut album through Hellmistress Records, which quickly reignited that songwriting/recording flame, resulting in the gift of new music.
In 2019, Horseburner revved up their mission even further, both on the road and in the studio. After completing a sophomore full-length, their debut album with Ripple Music, The Thief, was released on August 9, with back-to-back seasonal tours continuing throughout the end of the year and beyond.
