Heavy Metal Poetry

About Me


THE HORSEMAN LIVE @ Studio 7 12/08/07 Dimebag Tribute!!!!
HMP's Self financed and released album, “Heavy Metal Poetry”, Released in March of ’07 sold its first 500 copies locally in barely over 3 weeks and continues to sell very well and receive rave reviews, being dubbed “The album Metallica would have made after …And Justice for All” by a Puerto Rican metal mag and receiving 91/100s and 4/5s elsewhere. Songs from the album have gained airplay on many internet and local radio stations worldwide, including Seattle’s biggest rock radio station, 99.9 KISW where the boys were featured in an interview on air to promote the albums release which is making waves worldwide due to their steadily growing fan base via the internet and word of mouth. With their musical prowess rivaled only by their energetic live show and unwavering determination, these four will stop at nothing to join the ranks of their influences at the top of the metal world, and, from the looks of things, that vision may be just around the corner.

To anyone who has ever supported us, listened to our music, helped us, been to a show, or even been friends or family to any of us. THANK YOU!! Some amazing stuff is on the way for us and without all of you guys we wouldn't be anything! Anyone who has ever had any interaction with our band, even as small as just listening, you have helped to shape us and brought us to where we are! Therefore you are all a part of this band. Thank you guys! We will keep you updated as time goes on but I can confidently say from here on out things are only going to get bigger. Thank you all! Metal forever!
