Dead Horse Talks Band's Resurgence
Dead Horse’s musical style, imagery and sense of humor has led to their being one of the most popular bands in Texas’ heavy music scene. The group crosses over death metal with thrash, punk and even a hint of country. Also, as you’ll find in the following interview, their sense of humor has left a mark on the scene. The title of their first full length, released in 1989, relates a band that doesn’t take itself so seriously, “Horsecore: An Unrelated Story That’s Time Consuming.” In 1991 the band followed this recording up with “Peaceful Death and Pretty Flowers.” They released the “Boil(ing) EP in 1996 and then disbanded a year later.
During their hiatus, Relapse Records ensured Dead Horse’s music would still find listeners when they reissued their LPs in 1999, but the band would not play a show again until 2011. However, fans of the band could look elsewhere to hear its members when guitarists Greg Martin, Scott Sevall and drummer Ronnie Guyote joined Kurt Brecht of D.R.I. in forming the band Pasadena Napalm Division. In 2011, Michael Argo joined the band, which was the first time the band used a lead singer since Michael Haaga left the group around 1993. Since then the group has released the “Loaded Gun” EP and “Making A Dead Horse Live!” DVD.

On the night of their skate deck release party, I caught up with Greg Martin, Scott Sevall and Allen Price to talk about the band’s resurgence, some of the shows they’ve played and music they’ve created the past couple of years, much of which is done in tone-and-cheek humor.
