First Angel Media Reviews Horehound – Holocene

Horehound vocalist Shy Kennedy has become quite the mogul of the Pittsburgh metal scene, particularly in its vibrant doom corner, where she holds court not only as a performer but as an organizer of the Descendants of Crom festival and the owner of the interesting Blackseed Records, a label that is a mission for her as opposed to a mere business venture. Kennedy and her bandmates are in rapturous love with all sounds down-bred from Black Sabbath, and Holocene, Horehound’s sophomore effort, is but a long ode to that which is slow and profoundly heavy.
