Now some two decades and seven albums into their career – with eighth “Jake Leg Boogie”, set to drop late this June on Small Stone – Five Horse Johnson has dug out a niche of their own, a genuine love and respect for traditional blues and classic rock leading them to likewise become one of the most loved and respected bands in the heavy rock underground. Always a freight train live, they’ve toured the US (with Clutch and Halfway To Gone) and Europe extensively (including the festival circuit), gathering fans, friends, and drinki

EXCALIBUR, your “Humo Negro” is not the substance, after which the common Weekend Warrior graces. Not really. There is the loincloth in the face of the cover, the band name and the promo text (key elements: founded 1984, second LP never published) just gladly made a tear test – and then that: instead of as a steel-cheeky mix of MANILLA ROAD, BROCAS HELM And ETERNAL CHAMPION to the sky, the Spanish EXCALIBUR hangs like a wooden-brittle mixture of MAIDEN cover, permanent-wave rock and city-festival stage to Proberaum floor.

First of all, “From Two Balconies” has a wonderful cover artwork that was designed by the renowned Derek Riggs (Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, Gamma Ray etc.). Secondly, the album has a modern orientation and blends alternative, modern prog rock, pop-rock, rock, atmospheric, ambient & electronic music together. Three out of the ten tracks are instrumental, and one of them is the actually annoying “Confirmation Bias” – a track that can cause you a headache from the very first sec. Thankfully, the album has some nice atmospheric tracks like “The Mystical Connected Us”, “Beats in the Brain” (a remar
