Jason Sullivan I'm not even going to try and classify Henry the Horse. It's weird, interesting and cool all at once. I imagine you either like it or you don't.
Me? I do....a lot! Favorite track: Trilogy.

    Behold a pale horse...five years after the demise of Void Of Skull, Howie Slaughter (aka "Voice of Skull") returns with a collective of artists and musicians to continue his apocalyptic vision via a new vehicle: Henry The Horse. Containing many of the same elements that fueled VoS, Howie's signature conga battery & baritone lyric delivery, fluid guitar, flute & ambient sections and contributions from peers, friends and family too numerous to mention, Henry The Horse wears its roots upon its sleeve (if horses in fact do wear shirts) while boldly taking the next steps into the future. Fans of VoS will be well pleased with the results.

    This premier bandcamp edition download of the Horse's debut album includes a plethora of graphics wrought by Howie Slaughter himself, Individual artwork pieces for each song on the album and several other pieces documenting the soul and vibe of the time and energy through which this album was conceived. Get it all or live with the fact that you missed out again on a true original.

Got the lights on down in the Laboratory Metaphysically it’s another Story Travel thru the spirit in a wave of sound Gliding on the mystic rising from the ground Passing thru a vortex – like a bird of Prey Living for the moment – of a brand new way We dump it in the pot – and we let stew Savoring the flavor – like a Puss-come-chew Mediums and chemicals – that get us thru Seeking in the mystery – without a clue Talking about feeding – on the Power and Glory Breathing in the light – got no time to worry Pack it like a Wizard – in a little Kit Alchemistry and magic – from the endless pit Metaphysically it’s another Story Taking on the path – of a new territory Wander in the digits – like an old Bloodhound Seeking thru the circuits - shifting in the sound Ghost in the machinery – notes of the sublime Haunting little melody – syncopated time Life is not a prison – made of chains of steel Dream a little while – of things that make you feel Free you from the madness of this place and time Just a little sanctuary - for your weary mind… Life is not a prison made of chains of steel Dream a little while of things that make you feel Travel spirit - wave of sound - gliding mystic from the ground Chemicals-mediums-get us thru-with out a clue Sanctuary… H.

Long time ago when the earth was young and were caring free Walking down the banks of the curves of my darling’s memories Playing in the day and loving at night so gently Frolicked in her loins of the innocent times of yesterday Ooh Ooh Ooh Oooooooh Used to be a time when you were my every - everything Talking bout the time when you used to wear my heart felt ring Bringing home the bacon to my sweet-sweet Ma-ma ooh-ooh-ooo Once I was the King – now I’m just a servant in her show Ooh Ooh Ooh * Who’s Crying Now People talk of love like they learned it from a T.V. set And now they're crying before they even got their weenie wet I tell you that I love you, but ya better take a hold my dear Cause I’m feeling lack of love and I’m thinking that the end is near Ooh Ooh Ooh Oooooooh I have felt your glory and the passion of your golden flame Sat inside the darkness right beside you, when you went insane Well I listened closely when you told me - “Time will tell” Time has told its tale and left me wishing heaven in a haunted hell Ooh Ooh Ooh * Who’s Crying Now S.

Trilogy 06:51
Lost is the way of man – blind in a wasted land Fool for the master plan – Barren as desert sand Conquer and kill the free – War is their destiny Life is confined you see – brutal at best it be Great Babylon shall fall – As empires past did crawl All that do heed the call - The writing is on the wall Storms of duality - come in the form of three Yes it’s a mystery – All thru out history Unknown reality – Beyond what the eye can see Ah it’s a trilogy - to set all the captives free… You're running with the Devil – It’s a road in the night You feel the little Monkey – And it’s starting to bite Demons and the darkness – And you can’t see no light Wicked is the pressure – and it don’t feel so right Demons do fear – when they are near As all should take care – for none can compare Hordes of Locust devour – Creation empowered Great Nations shall cower – rectified in this hour From air to the sea – not a beast shall be free Hide in the ground – still shall be found All filled with fright – in the black of the night It’s confusing, and I don’t know which way to go There’s a phantom in my lost temple I have a specter in my hedgerow Your running with the Devil – It’s a road in the night You feel the little Monkey – And it’s starting to bite Demons and the darkness – And you can’t see no light I don’t feel so good man – It’s All right There’s a wicked man on my back A Monkey Man all dressed in black….

Time it is a treasure – as it is a thief Feels like forever – when there’s no release Turning and twisting – the vortex of space Evolving and changing – gone with out a trace The past meets the present – in some Holy place Reborn into death – spirit floats to grace Love is the answer – but who ask the question? Time heals all wounds – but who did the cutting? I feel like I know – then I learn that I don’t Burns me inside - Sometimes I can’t cope Life is a river – flowing to the sea To become one – where everyone is free Blood is the price – that feeds the machine Society’s rat race – hungry and mean Nurse Ratchet control – I want my cigarettes Big brother is watching - My dear Cheswick Break thru the walls – or they’ll cut your brain out Freewill is your choice – don’t live life in doubt Hope is a feeling – Do you Dare to Dream? Did the decadence – leave you obscene? What you don’t know – they say can not hurt you Sure as your heart – they will all desert you Looking for signs – miracles to take place Life it is a miracle – Milagro thru grace Do You Dare to Dream? … Do You? (I want my cigarettes Nurse Ratchet I don’t want his cigarettes, or his cigarettes I Want My Cigarettes! – Sit down Cheswick!) H. SLAUGHTER

Taliban 04:20
Out there in the wasteland the air does sting with sand See them riding hard now – hard in the caravan Water not to fresh here only death is clear Can ya, can ya Taste it? See them running scared now, left their plans behind Now we know the secret of what they had in mind Down in the heart of darkness, where their monsters grow Sewing seeds of war now, feel their hatred flow Martyrs of the madness, who will save your soul? In your mountain home waiting for the show Run – run – run - run - run run Taliban – run Day becomes the night now, dark with the desert sand As it is the fight of – the fight of the Taliban – Ha Fight of the Taliban Run Run Taliban – Martyrs of the light? – Stand up And be counted! But – I see you run and run and You’re running out of time Run run Taliban…. H. SLAUGHTER

He sleeps all day, cause he plays all night Rising in the dark of the pre-Twilight Obscure is the mission of his inner sight Caught in the glow of the pale moonlight Out on the road it’s another show Burning down the roof at old Geno’s Rock’ in the dark he’s a troubadour Strawberry is the man and the plan is obscure Clubs want the cover bands of the lame Sad music scene here in Portland Maine Sounds like the radio gone insane Everybody here wants their Warhol fame Redemption time is coming, now don’t you fear Sub sonically thrusting out pushing air Henry is a stallion not another mare Stampede in your head feel the Horsemen near Lets join forces Mr. Troubadour Cause everybody here is a musical whore Let form a new religion start a holy war Like Lurch we will open up a brand new door You Rang?

Amazon Moon 03:31
Ahh the Holy light shine down it’s light on me I was sanctified in the vastness of the night Baptized with in the flowing river floating free Unto the souls of water burning in my sight Silent light refract the darkness where the Beast do play To metaphor our earthly pleasure, give birth to a new way At the Amazon Moon Lost with in a timeless daze, days roll by with in the haze Burning on eternal night - intoxicated by her gaze Is this Heaven or Hell fire? Is this pure or bad desire? The jungle holds a secret – a mesmerizing key The moon shall rise again – but not all will truly see At the Amazon Moon Emerald moments in my mind – free my soul with magic wine Dancing free for me tonight - Ahh cosmic fruit of the divine Ha ha ha salvation comes in strange ways Majestic Mystic – give me a place to lay Lead me to the gateways of your inner door Inside your fleeting moment is where I want to stay Salvation – redemption….
