A Metal Feast With DENNIS & DALE From DARK HORSE

After fourteen years of metal in the Australian music scene, d-beat
hardcore outfit Dark Horse feel they are only now just starting to
hit their straps.
Three albums deep, Dark Horse recently brought in a new bass
player, in the process reinvigorating the line-up and providing
greater impetus for the future. As well as nearing completion on a
split 7" with Canberra based Blight Worms, Dark horse are also
preparing to decimate the fifth annual Metal In The Mountains, to
be held on November 30.
To be held in the Beechworth Historic District and also featuring
Sordid Ordeal, Mammon's Throne, Munitions, The Krugers and more,
Metal In The Mountains promises to be even better this year with a
talented line-up and ample space to make as much noise as
possible.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Dennis and bass player Dale to talk
more.
"I haven't been," Dennis replied when asked about Metal In The
Mountains, "but know quite a few friends that have played there
with their bands, and they said it's an excellent festival with
very good organisation and lovely crowds. So I can't wait to
actually go somewhere where we haven't been."
We ask what punters can expect live from Dark Horse.
"It's the same Dark Horse energy," Dale began. "It's funny, I was a
big fan of the band before I joined, and Dark Horse is one of the
most consistent bands, rip your face off every time. It's 30
minutes of intense energy, riffs, and in your face and off your
face."
In the full interview, we discussed Dark Horse's sound and style,
with Dale mentioning that they have found a formula over the years,
which involves going fast, heavy, and being in-your-face. We also
discussed songs to listen to in order to prepare for the live
performance and Dale's background in playing in bands for 30 years.
Dale shared that they were working on a 7-inch split with
Canberra-based band Blight Worms, which they recorded in a single
day. They also mentioned plans for a full-length album next year.
In terms of live performances, Dale confirmed upcoming shows in
Sydney, Melbourne, Erskineville, and Dulwich Hill plus more.
