It takes a while for the sludgy doom of Whitehorse to wash over you. Like watching a sloth swimming laps in a Rotorua mud pool, it's a slow, punishing and uneasy experience. After a period of absence, the Melbourne doom/sludge overlords are back. Led by founding members vocalist Pete Hyde and electronics manipulator Mark Groves, as well as long-term drummer Rob Mayson, the current line-up also includes newcomers guitarist Adrian Naudi (Falllout/Demonther) and bassist Pete Mclean (Gaslight Radio).
Listen back to Burning Bitumen with Kene Lightfoot to hear a live set from Whitehorse.
