What People Are Saying
108 - 18.61:"This record does have a great thing going for it in the production. It was recorded by Alex Garcia Rivera (Give Up The Ghost) and mixed by the infamous Kurt Ballou (Converge). Everything sounds just right, the guitars are sharp, the drums crisp and pounding, the bass is noticeable without being overwhelming, and the vocals sound great. This record sounds great." -Craley, Sound Killer
"The album was recorded by Alex Garcia Rivera and mixed by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, and that means you should just buy the album for the recording alone, if not for the songs." -Bear, Indie Rock Reviews
"This first full-length has a big fat ass and badass organic sound. Just how a trio should sound like, I must add." -Deaf Sparrow
"The production is as clear as possible and allows a perfect mix of the players to be heard and the total package to engulf the listener" -Jon E., Scene Point Blank
"The production on EP is yet another highlight. Before I heard Bloodhorse I was anticipating a filthy production job oozing with feedback and sludge, and while there's definitely a market for that type of style, their choice to go with a slightly cleaner sound works out in their favor. There are still plenty of stoner metal riffs to go around, but Bloodhorse was wise to skip the standard doom/sludge sound and aim for a production job capable of showing off their heavy classic rock influence and knack for well-balanced writing." -Nick, Lambgoat
"I'm so happy that Alex caught some of our live sound on the ones he recorded. I loved every minute of recording it at Mystic Valley studios - Alex is great to work with and I love the smells and sounds of all that vintage analog recording gear!" -Matt, Specific Heats
Mountain Man has entered the studio with Alex Garcia-Rivera (American Nightmare, Saves The Day, Shelter) to begin tracking their debut full length, "Grief". Drummer, Pat Murphy comments on the on-going session: "Since our first conversation with Alex, we knew he would be perfect to capture the mood we are trying to achieve. He's been a musician we have all admired for years." -Bridge Nine
