Black Math Horseman (Tee Pee Records) joins Starbird roster!

I am very pleased to announce that LA's BLACK MATH HORSEMAN has joined the Starbird roster!!

Call it ambient post-doom. Call it alchemic psych-rock, only without all those annoying freeform guitar freakouts. Black Math Horseman is reminiscent of something along the lines of Isis meets Black Mountain. Their debut album Wyllt was produced by Scott Reeder of Kyuss and released on Tee Pee Records in April '09.

BMH recently played the Fog Rising Fest in San Francisco and also trekked to SXSW in '09. Catch them on their forthcoming Spring European tour, which sees them playing the infamous Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands, as well as supporting Shrinebuilder in London. US tour coming late 2010.

"....sinewy guitar lines recall Pelican or even a sad Fugazi, the drums are subtle but inventive, and bassist/vocalist Sera Timms sounds like Jarboe getting voice lessons from Grace Slick after downing a bottle of Tylenol PM in the back of a church (all of which is bolstered by reverb-drenched production)." - metalsucks.net

"While you’ll find plenty of ritual doom crush on the L.A. quartet’s debut album Wyllt, BMH know that heavy comes from within. Much of Wyllt swirls in the middle ground between lullaby and nightmare, etching its blurry edges in the smoke and fog. Some of its heaviest parts actually come in between depressions of the distortion pedal. The repetitive guitar fragments that open “Tyrant” lure us in to the dank cave where Sasha Popovic’s drumsticks drip on to dead animal skins, and den mother Sera Timms chants monastic spells. Even before the first eruption of crash cymbal and guitar squall, the song is pregnant with voodoo." - Prefix Mag

"Combining the art house horror vibe of bands like Espers and Ghost Bees with the sludge-metal riffs of Black Sabbath, BMH have arrived at a nightmarish kind of proto-metal-doom-psych that one would imagine the Nazgul would have come up with were they to form a band." - popwreckoning
