High on Fire Motörhead Red Fang The Sword (early) Mastodon
Thunder Horse write heavy music that’s direct, physical, and built to move. Riffs land fully formed, the groove stays locked in, and nothing hangs around longer than it needs to.
There’s a directness to their sound that sets them apart. Instead of slow builds or long repetition, Thunder Horse focus on impact and movement - tight structures, clear hooks, and energy that stays high from start to finish.

Chosen One (2021) After the Fall (2023)
Stephen Bishop – Vocals / Guitar Todd “The Bird” Connally – Lead Guitar Dave Crow – Bass / Vocals Johnny Lightning – Drums
Heavy metal with strong stoner rock roots, driven by fast riffs, groove, and classic metal energy.
Thunder Horse approach songwriting with clarity and intent. Their tracks are built around strong riffs and deep groove, drawing from classic heavy and doom sounds with a grounded, physical feel. Momentum matters, but it comes from the weight of the riff rather than speed alone.
The result is heavy music that feels solid and direct. Riffs are bold and memorable, rhythms lock in tight, and songs focus on impact over excess. It’s a sound shaped for listeners who want drive, power, and movement - without the slow burn.
