Press:

"...this is very much like a film score, and listening is recommended by going from the first track straight through the last. Opening credits to end, if I’m going to jockey the theme into submission by continually making references to the soundtrack aspect of this material; just listen closely and you’ll hear many subtle touches…rises and drops…and other inflections that just add to the immersive experience created by the music.
Jay Snyder - Hellride Music

"Though the pulsating guitar and bass rhythm section has a wonderful, lulling sort of quality, I really feel that this short EP is centered around Meghan Mulhearn's wondrous, melancholic violin, which resides somewhere between sleepy bluegrass and "pioneer folk." If you're looking for an extremely relaxing, introspective, spacey album, Holy War is definitely for you."
Jon Rosenthal - The Inarguable

“(translated from Italian) "Although this is not yet a destination, but a simple step of mutation, not more and not yet caterpillar butterfly, this does not detract from the intrinsic value of a work intriguing and able to tickle the curiosity, so as to allow The Judas Horse to dig their own niche within an imaginary stylistic anything but barren of emotions.”
Michele Giorgi - Audiodrone
