"Second Assault" is a powerful CD release by the Swedish band Horisont, presented here in cooperation with the independent distributor Plastic Head. Musically, "Second Assault" stands firmly in the tradition of classic 1970s hard rock, combining twin-guitar harmonies, driving rhythms and a warm, analog-inspired sound. The album is characterized by dynamic songwriting, memorable riffs and expressive vocals that move confidently between melodic passages and raw energy. Fans of vintage-sounding hard rock, proto-metal and retro rock will find a cohesive and authentic record that avoids trends and instead focuses on timeless, guitar-driven songs.
