"Second Assault hails back to the point in the early '70s when heavy metal was just starting to be defined. This was a time when a Uli Jon Roth-led Scorpions and a fledgling Judas Priest were fusing the colossal riffs of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Grand Funk to the soulful virtuosity of Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple and Wishbone Ash. Horisont can be found proudly jamming at the point where flares and cheesecloth shirts gave way to denim and leather."
"A band is nothing without a killer rhythm section; in drummer Pontus they have a true disciple of the holy trinity - Bonham, Ward and Paice; partnered by 4-string monster Magnus who locks in like a veteran soul man. The twin lead attack of Kristofer and Charles lacks only surnames to be worthy of mention in the august company of Gorham/Robertson, Schenker/Roth or Turner/Powell. By turns both tastefully melodic and proudly bombastic, they play like masters yet are never self-indulgent or boring. In keeping with such a stellar band, frontman Axel delivers the sort of impassioned performance that would make his forbearers proud; veering from laidback and soulful to banshee wail, but always from the heart. But musical skills mean nothing without songs. Fear not, these are ten of the finest you could wish for. Irresistible grooves and hooks so catchy you’ll need innoculation just to be in the same town with them."
