1992 – 2000

3 Albums, an EP …a swag of Singles.

We’ve compiled what we believe is a pretty bloody comprehensive list of Horsehead releases. We’ve added demos, live shit and more.

The most in-depth catalogue of Horsehead’s ‘recording’ history you’re likely to find.

…that said…

We’ve no doubt missed a bunch of demos and private recordings buried away in our shoe boxes. What we do have here though…is a long and thorough list nonetheless.
