Raging Speedhorn – How The Great Have Fallen (2005)

January 13, 2025

How The Great Have Fallen is the third album from British metal band Raging Speedhorn, and is the final album with the original vocal duo of Frank Regan and John Loughlin. The first thing to notice is the massive step off a cliff in regards to production. It feels almost like a purposeful attempt to change things up for album number three, but the sad reality is that nearly all of these songs would have been much better served with a clearer production. I can barely hear the distinctive vocalists; it just feels like I am listening to Generic Sludge and/or Doom Band No. 762517, not Raging Speedhorn. This doesn’t make the album bad, but it has lost a lot of what makes it “Raging Speedhorn”.
