Ever since Whitehorse hit the stages at WFMU during SXSW, I was hooked. The Aussie crew’s uber-brutal death-doom was impressive live, but would that cloak of darkness spread into recorded medium? Luckily, Whitehorse’s Progression (which we discussed in April) expertly captures the band’s dirge and destruction, and now that it’s out domestically on At A Loss, you can hear it for yourself. Stream the entire Progression LP below. Totally underrated, and devastating.

Whitehorse also have a split 7″ out with the Body which is sold out at the label.
