Named for the historic city in the north of Italy where they formed, The Turin Horse consists of guitarist/vocalist Enrico Tauraso, formerly of Dead Elephant, and drummer Alain Lapaglia, ex-MoRkObOt. With one untitled EP under their belts, Tauraso and Lapaglia come tearing out of the gate on Unsavory Impurities. Eyes wild and teeth gnashing, the two operate in a zone of pure abandon, bashing out caustic noise rock then dropkicking it into other dimensions. Injecting freedom and chaos into a genre known for its austerity, The Turin Horse play with prog-level exuberance and lace their raw, blown-out songs with left-field sounds, including saxophone and an arsenal of samples: The band's liberated approach to abrasive music brings to mind the maniacal sludge-punk of Karp, by way of the unchained experimentalism of Today Is The Day.

“Taking cues from both radical noise rock bands a la Scratch Acid and Season to Risk along with the metallic experimentalism of Today Is the Day, The Turin Horse shoot the whole thing through with noise, found sounds, and any other wild idea that strikes them to create a beautifully unpredictable assault.”
–CVLT Nation

"Raw noise rock with a psychedelic streak."
–New Noise

"A thrill ride where doom and d-beat collide with warped, twisted punk."

–Fecking Bahamas

"The Turin Horse blend angular noise rock with proggy psych atmospherics."
–Idioteq

"Unique Italian noise rock group The Turin Horse are finally back with a progressive/psychedelia influenced full-length for 2023... They’re pushing noise rock/post-hardcore into their own zone."
–Grizzly Butts

THE TURIN HORSE - "Sixty Millions Blues"

THE TURIN HORSE: Italy's experimental noise-rockers unleash new track "Sixty Millions Blues" from Reptilian Records debut

Italian duo The Turin Horse has released new track "Sixty Millions Blues" from its upcoming new album Unsavory Impurities.

The album drops March 24th on Reptilian Records (US) and Invisible Order (EU).

"Sixty Millions Blues" opens with ear-scraping, Albini-worthy tones, then launches into a hellbound nugget of sludge-punk that rocks like Chris Spencer fronting Karp. 45 seconds in, a whirr of psychedelia blankets the song gloriously then disappears. Injecting freedom and chaos into a genre known for its austerity, The Turin Horse play with prog-level exuberance and lace their raw, blown-out songs with left-field sounds, including saxophone (courtesy of baritone sax player Alessandro Cartolari) and an arsenal of samples: "Synths, classical music, field recordings, pocket fans, data-bending files, circuit-bent machines, vegetables, anything we deem useful for our purposes," states Tauraso.

Named for the historic city in the north of Italy where they formed, The Turin Horse consists of guitarist/vocalist Enrico Tauraso, formerly of Dead Elephant, and drummer Alain Lapaglia, ex-MoRkObOt. With one untitled EP under their belts, Tauraso and Lapaglia come tearing out of the gate on Unsavory Impurities. Eyes wild and teeth gnashing, the two operate in a zone of pure abandon, bashing out caustic noise rock then dropkicking it into other dimensions.

Tauraso states: "If we had to make a list of influences I think it would be endless... Personally I would include Today Is The Day. I've been a fan for many years and have always enjoyed their uncompromising vision of music. I've always found it cathartic."

While honoring those who have inspired them, The Turin Horse really march to their own beat and no one else's. As Tauraso puts it, "The thing that has conditioned us the most is the need to try to express ourselves freely. We already have to mediate with society for a good part of our daily lives and we like to think that music is our hour of fresh air."

The band's singular sound is thanks in part to Tauraso's homemade rig: "We couldn't find a bass player and I chose to see this lack as a creative opportunity to customize my guitar sound by building a large part of my gear."

Unsavory Impurities was recorded and mixed by Massimiliano Moccia and Enrico Tauraso. It was mastered by Arik Victor at Creep Studio in Philadelphia. The cover art was created by Mow Skwoz.

Making their Reptilian Records debut with Unsavory Impurities, The Turin Horse join a stellar roster that has included Dwarves, KEN mode, Chat Pile, and many more.

Idioteq reports: "The Italian purveyors of noise-infused rock music have wholeheartedly embraced the sonic textures of progressive and psychedelic genres on 'Unsavory Impurities'... which showcases the group’s commitment to exploring uncharted sonic territories. 'Regret Song' serves as a testament to their vigorous and edgy approach... transitioning from a spacey, prog-infused and psychedelic journey to an ongoing frenzy of angular and chaotic rock."

Named for the historic city in the north of Italy where they formed, The Turin Horse consists of guitarist/vocalist Enrico Tauraso, formerly of Dead Elephant, and drummer Alain Lapaglia, ex-MoRkObOt. With one untitled EP under their belts, Tauraso and Lapaglia come tearing out of the gate on Unsavory Impurities. Eyes wild and teeth gnashing, the two operate in a zone of pure abandon, bashing out caustic noise rock then dropkicking it into other dimensions. 

First single "Blissed Out" serves as a perfect introduction. Ear-scraping guitar tones carry a somber melody, as frenetic drumming and a whirr of psychedelia pull the song forward. Injecting freedom and chaos into a genre known for its austerity, The Turin Horse play with prog-level exuberance and lace their raw, blown-out songs with left-field sounds, including saxophone (courtesy of baritone sax player Alessandro Cartolari of Anatrofobia and Extrema Ratio) and an arsenal of samples: "Synths, classical music, field recordings, pocket fans, data-bending files, circuit-bent machines, vegetables, anything we deem useful for our purposes," states Tauraso.

The band's liberated approach to abrasive music brings to mind the maniacal sludge-punk of Karp, by way of the unchained experimentalism of Today Is The Day. Tauraso states: "If we had to make a list of influences I think it would be endless... Personally I would include Today Is The Day. I've been a fan for many years and have always enjoyed their uncompromising vision of music. I've always found it cathartic."
