THE WORST HORSE _EPK

BIOGRAPHY
​
The Worst Horse is an Italian band coming from Milan, founded in 2014 by singer David and guitar player and songwriter Omar. The idea, from the very beginning, was to play captivating riffs, surrounded by gloomy atmospheres with catchy refrains, counting on David’s distinctive dark and bluesy vocal timbre.The musical references go from seventies bands like Black Sabbath to stoner rock groups like The Sword, passing through Hellacopters’ Swedish hard rock winking to some of the nihilistic Alice in Chains grooves. David’s lyrics draw fully from horror literature and the creepy movies that scared all of us when we were children, narrating addiction andperversion, evoking spirits and demons that subconsciously exist behind us.
 
The band was then completed by Pietro Grassilli (Jester Beast) on the bass andFrancesco Galimberti on the drums, and immediately released the first self-titled EP,recorded in the esoteric city of Turin. The Worst Horse EP obtained a good critical success, being the sound of the band described as “the dirtiest thing will pass through your ears, the Louisiana Wetlands from a seventies-rock perspective”.
 
The four musicians later dedicated themselves to a dense live activity, natural result of the endless hours spent in the practice room jamming in search of the perfect musical feeling among them.In 2016 Pietro left the band, that continued the direction of musical experimentation towards a more mature and self-aware sound.
 
2018 will finally be the year in which their first full-length will see the light: The Illusionist will be a concept album, co-produced with Luca Liviero of Bios Music Studios (already worked with Stef Burns and Alto Voltaggio, Jgor Gianola among the others), with Gabriel Pignata from Destrage playing all the bass parts. The album will also host Luca Princiotta (Doro Pesch and Blaze Bayley) with a guitar solo on the monolithic track It. This year is expected to be one full of developments for The Worst Horse, that recently completed their line up with new enter bassist Riccardo Crespi (former Hyades and Generation on Dope).
