The Four Horsemen

These guys asked for opinions. So what do you think?

What a coincidence that I am listening to Megadeth's Killing is My Business...and Business is Good! album right now. Guess what song it's on? "Mechanix".

the Metallica/Metal Church influences are definitely there. at times the singer has a very weak Belladonna-like delivery. you can really hear it in "Kill Or Be Killed" & "Treason".

sounds like pretty decent stuff.

I think these guys are really young. If they keep at it, they could annihilate.

These guys absolutely haul. I nearly pulled a neck muscle with Swift Justice blastin' through my speakers.

Wasn't there a band in the late 80s/early 90s by this name? I could swear I got a promo copy of an album by a "Four Horsemen" when I was writing about music for my college newspaper.
Be that as it may, this band sounds pretty darn good.

Yup. A rock band. Shiney just sent me one of their CDs.

I liked it! There is definite potential there. I agree with mc, there are obvious Metal Church / Metallica influences.

Good stuff - heavy Metallica/Megadeth classic speed/trash metal influence - they have potential

Yeah, I recall hearing about a band by that name somewhere.

Ya, the original Four Horsemen were in with the wave of retro rock that was spearheaded by the Black Crowes, and included bands like Raging Slab, Brother Cane, Drivin & Cryin, maybe Circus of Power, etc. (Blaze Bailey's Wolfsbane?)
They had a song called "Rockin' Is My Buisines, and Business Is Good"; and their sound is slightly AC/DC inflected. Two albums that I know of.
I think one of their key members might have died in the mid 90's.

p.s.- If anybody knows who wrestlings's original Four Horsemen were, I'd like to know. I saw them wrestle once in Kansas City, at that time it was Ric Flair, Arn & Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard.

the original FOUR HORSEMEN released their cd in 1991...very no frills sleazy rawk ala AC/DC....killer vox courtesy of Frank Starr who died in a motorcylce accident in the late 90's.

Their drummer Dimwit died in the early 90's as well....

Their Guiarist HAGGIS was in THE CULT at one point too I believe...

They released a 2nd cd that in my opinion was pretty crapola...

I like what i've heard. This band has alot of metal spirit and potential. I might get a demo and check them out on my cd player at home at full volume!

I think those were the originals. Either way , you got to see true legends wrestle

THAT'S why it rang a bell with me... I remembered the Cult connection.

Well, if two of the "old" Four Horsemen are dead, I suppose this new bunch doesn't have to worry about being sued for the name...

Good stuff! Glad to see bands keeping thrash going!!

I have the 2 releases from the "original" Four Horsemen which I still listen to quite frequently. If I remember correctly, Frank Starr was in a coma for almost a year after the accident before his family pulled the plug. It's a shame, they were a good, hard rock band. Good stuff, but way different than these new kids. I like what I hear from them too. They've got alot of potential.

hey, haha, i'm in this band! i'm the one second to right in my picture. thanks for the comments!

Good band. \m/

Pretty cool music, but the name needs a change. So as not to conflict with the brilliant original Four Horseman band of the early 90's. RIP Frank Starr, they don't make rockstars like him anymore. A true rock n' roll outlaw.
