about

A snarling slice of sinister alt-rock, ‘Dark Hoss’ follows on from ‘Exit Point’ as the second track of what will be Deathretro’s next full-length release.

Gnawing through a barbed labyrinth of industrial drum beats, slithering riffs and stretches of fuzzy static, the menacing new cut sees the band take a deft step forwards in style and sound.

Adrian explains: “Dark Hoss is the most layered song on the new album. Moving away from the first album where everything had to be played live, we’ve given ourselves the freedom to take songs wherever they need to go in the studio.” 

Recorded in sessions between lockdowns and eventually finished this year, the track balances eccentricity with eeriness. With shadowy rock sensibilities countered by a surprise samba band turning up in the background, Dark Hoss’s inspiration is as off beat as its sound.

Kie adds: “Dark Hoss is the subconscious architect: running wild, constructing strange and abstract worlds which blur the lines between life and loss. The moment when half awake in a dream-like state, the mind goes deep and vividly connects with the past, before we wake up and realise all that was is slipping away once again.” 

The release follows earlier punk-rock inspired release ‘Exit Point’ and comes as the band are fresh off the back of two major festival slots at Kendal Calling and Bluedot this Summer. Stay tuned for more news from Deathretro in the coming months…
