2017, In 2011, Below was formed in Sweden. They decided to start a doom band that would pay tribute to the more epic, heavy and dark styles of doom. Below started writing songs, and in November 2012, a 4-track EP was recorded at Deep Blue Studios in Sweden. UPON A PALE HORSE marks their second full length album. The album was recorded at Deep Blue Studios in their hometown of Nykoping, Sweden. While staying true to the core of the music that is Below (heavy riffs, haunting melodies and huge atmospheres), UPON A PALE HORSE also offers a broader variety to the songs, with the band's slowest song to-date, as well as the fastest, the shortest, and the longest. Additionally, the album features several guest appearances, such as backing vocals by Sorcerer's Anders Engberg and a speech by Alan Averill of Primordial.
