Los Angeles, CA-based rockers NIGHT HORSE has completed work on its sophomore album. Titled Perdition Hymns, the record will see an August 3rd release via Tee Pee Records.

Recorded in East LA at Infrasonic Sound, Perdition Hymns is an album made by fans of rock, for fans of rock! Produced and mixed by Matt Bayles (MASTODON, PEARL JAM, ISIS), the record is a classic for current times, made up of all the peaks and valleys, textures and nuances that timeless records yield over repeated listens. Songs like 'Choose Your Side' and 'Shake Your Blues' demonstrate guitarists Justin Maranga (ANCESTORS) and Greg Buensuceso’s flair for intricately weaving guitar leads and rhythmic patterns, much like their classic predecessors THIN LIZZY or The MC5 did, while vocalist Sam James Velde (ex-BLUEBIRD) invokes the ghosts of every classic rock singer you’ve ever loved by flat-out refusing to hold anything back; the singer teeters on the edge of total abandon while the band pushes him closer to the brink.

“Writing and recording Perdition Hymns was an amazing experience,” says Velde in a statement. “The collaborative effort and the productivity we all showed were intense, but fun. Everyone was so focused and enthusiastic. The songs just came to us so quickly. We'd start with a riff, then POW it was on! Same went for writing the lyrics. I'd get a few words or ideas stuck in my head and then the melody was just there. It was magical, really.”

Perdition Hymns tracklisting is as follows:

'Confess to Me'

'Angel Eyes'

'Rollin’ On'

'Good Bye Gone'

'Black Clouds'

'Come Down Halo'

'Blizzard of Oblivion'

'Hard to Bear'

'Shake Your Blues'

'Choose Your Side'

'Same Old Blues'

In celebration of Perdition Hymns’ impending release, Night Horse will offer fans a free digital EP (via Topspin). Beginning June 15th, the Sympathy Ain’t Free EP – consisting of the new Night Horse tracks 'Rollin’ On' (from Perdition Hymns), 'Sympathy Ain’t Free' and 'Black Clouds' (acoustic) - will be available for free download at this location.

“Recording the B-Sides for Sympathy Ain’t Free seemed so laid back in comparison to the energy we had during the Perdition Hymns sessions,” Velde offered. “We wrote the title track 'Sympathy Ain't Free' just a day or so before we recorded it. I wrote the vocal melody and lyrics the night before the session. But in true Night Horse fashion, it all flowed very organically.”
