The Horror

OK, one more blast of brutal UK hardcore from another band descended from the all-mighty Voorhees - this is The Horror.  Featuring most of the final Voorhees line-up, The Horror continued playing fast and vicious hardcore that took on a somewhat of a Youth Attack vibe - incorporating a bit from bands like Charles Bronson and Das Oath, while retaining a decidedly UK HC sound.  Here is basically their entire discography - the two "First Blood" Eps and their two Lps.  The early material is the best with "The Fear, The Terror, The Horror" 12" being my favorite release.  I must confess that I found the final Lp "Spoils of War" a little flat and uninspiring but that was perhaps in comparison to the outstanding legacy these guys had built up... overall, great stuff.

  1. Thanks for all these cool uk posts mike, just wondering if you also have anything by Boxed In (http://www.discogs.com/artist/331517-Boxed-In) that you can post as well?

    1. Certainly... I'm all about 90s UK HC - check out the Flat Earth archive (http://flatearthrecs.blogspot.com/2012/05/archive-of-bloody-everything.html) for a ton of that stuff, including pre-Boxed In bands One By One, Health Hazard and Suffer. I'll post the Boxed In discography soon!
