Beating Dead Horses is 16volt’s seventh full-length album and their third album on Metropolis. It was produced by 16volt frontman Eric Powell and co-mixed by Powell and Shaun Thingvold (Strapping Young Lad, Front Line Assembly, Lamb of God). The album finds 16volt refining its sound with the heavy rock guitars, intricate beats and layers of synths and samplers that the band is known for.
The release features thirteen new songs, including the aggressive tracks “Sick Sick Sick”, “Fight Or Flight” and “Beating Dead Horses” and the lead-off single “Burn” as well as guest appearances from Clint Carney (System Syn, God Module) and Bill Sarver (Lance Herbstrong, Ohn).
