The digital North American release of Progression¸ the newest full-length from oppressive Aussie noise/sludge metal outfit, WHITEHORSE, is now available.
Originally released on CD earlier this year via Sweat Lung Records to coincide with WHITEHORSE’s 2011 American tour, the digital version of the album is now available via all major digital stores. The deluxe LP format is in the manufacturing stages now and will be released in the coming weeks. For fans of Disembowelment, Khanate, Corrupted, Winter and the coldest slow-motion doom brutality will not want to miss this album.
In celebration of this latest WHITEHORSE release, Brooklyn Vegan is hosting an entire album stream of Progression now. To have your face slowly ripped off by the thirty-eight minutes of the album’s awesome, scathing, sonic destruction, elevate your speakers’ volume to the maximum setting, and click here.
WHITEHORSE’s recent massive American tour included several performances at this year’s SXSW, as well as a full Southeast/East Coast tour alongside The Body, who they also co-released a split 7″ with and are now labelmates with on At A Loss.
More news on WHITEHORSE will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime those who dwell nearby the band can catch them live at several local shows in their home province of Victoria, Australia.

Whitehorse have announced their first Australian show in 6 months. Also the first Australian show with member Dave (Ivens / Encircling Sea) in the line up and the first appearance with Dan (Nation Blue) behind the kit.
Oppressive Australian sludge/metal unit WHITEHORSE have confirmed that they will release their latest album, Progression, on both 12″ LP and digital download formats to North America via At A Loss Recordings this Summer.
Progression was initially released early this year on CD by Sweat Lung Records, to coincide with WHITEHORSE’s 2011 American tour. The brutal venture took the band through a massive amount of the country, including several performances at this year’s SXSW as well as a full Southeast/East Coast tour alongside The Body, who they not only co-released a split 7″ with but who are also now labelmates with via At A Loss Recordings. At A Loss will release Progression digitally on July 5, 2011, and the deluxe LP vinyl format will be released later in the Summer; the lacquers are currently being cut at Chicago Mastering Service by Jason Ward, and a final release date will be announced shortly.

2. Progression (6:10)
3. Control, Annihilate (4:06)

For the past seven plus years WHITEHORSE has united members of Melbourne’s underground music community, enlisting members from the punk, grindcore, experimental, and noise scenes, to create crushingly heavy sludge-metal layered with electronics.
Having toured Japan, the United States and Australia, plus having released eight audio documents on a multitude of internationally-based labels including Sweat Lung, Sabbatical, Conspiracy, Blind Date, 20 Buck Spin and more, WHITEHORSE hit their most productive point in 2010, performing in support of several international visitors to Australia including Birushanah, Zeni Geva, Om, Lichens, Wolves In The Throne Room, Monarch, Nadja and Coffins.
Promos of Progression, as well as interviews with WHITEHORSE, will be made available to North American journalists within the coming days. Be prepared for more updates on this juggernaut act to be announced over the coming weeks.
