history
The Gray Space
After the horror show was signed to Elefant Traks, the debut album The Gray Space was released , which was mainly characterized by the two's high school days. During this time horror show also met Spit Syndicate and Joyride and founded the One Day Crew. Elefant Trak co-founder Urthboy explained the signing as follows in a blog post that appeared in the run-up to the duo's third album:
When the horror show showed me The Gray Space it was clear to me that the two fans are into creating atmosphere. That they shouldn't keep "Walk You Home" on the album, but for the second album, was definitely the better decision, although I would have preferred it differently at the time.
The album was nominated for an ARIA Award . Horror shows played with the Albu, among other things, tours with The Herd , Muph & Plutonic and Hermitude .
Inside story
The second album followed in 2009 Inside Story . The album was praised by the band's fans for the eloquent lyrics and sensitive music. The album was named Feature Album by the Australian radio station Triple J and Album of the Week by FBi Radio and received very positive reviews in general.
King Amongst Many
In 2013, King Amongst Many was the duo's third album. Like the two previous albums, the album was released on Elefanttraks.
In May 2013 the single "Unfair Lottery" was released. In early May 2013, another song "Unfair Lottery" was released on the Internet and received radio airplay. The song was made officially available in a digital format on 24 May 2013 and appears on Horrorshow's third album. The subject of "Unfair Lottery" is concerned with the racial notion of "white privilege".
King Amongst Many was named album of the week by radio station Tripple J.
Bardo State
In August 2016, horror show released the single 'If You Know What I Mean' as the first harbinger of their fourth studio album. The single 'Push' followed in January with guest vocals by 16-year-old Taj Ralph. The album Brado State was released on February 24th. The album title is a "reference to The Tibetan Book of the Dead (also Bardo Thodol )" In April, another single, Eat The Cake , followed . For the video, the horror show worked with the Australian comedy group Aunty Donna.
In spring 2017, horror shows were portrayed by Netflix as part of the promotion for the series The Get Down as a duo, which embodies the values of hip-hop in an exemplary manner.
Live at the Spiegelent and Live from the Listen Close Tour
In 2013 the band released the live album Live at the Sp Spiegelent from their performance at Sp Spiegelent in Sydney.
In October 2015, the Live from the Listen Close Tour was followed by a live album that was recorded on the Listen Close Tour in spring 2015. The album also contains one-day songs.
