Achilles


Audrey Horne return with their eighth studio album, Achilles, out via Napalm Records. Across 11 multi-faceted tracks, the band moves easily from high-energy hard rock to more melodic and progressive territory, showing just how broad their sound can be without losing its punch.

There’s a clear love here for classic ’70s and ’80s heavy music, with shades of Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden in the mix, but Audrey Horne keep it feeling fresh. Lyrically, Achilles stretches from escapism to reflections on the instability of today’s polarized world.

It’s a record built for both rock radio and the live stage, balancing hooks, muscle and atmosphere in equal measure.
