Horse the Band

Horse the Band is an American band from Lake Forest, California who are best known for their 8-bit Nintendo-influenced sound combined with metalcore. Frontman Nathan Winneke once jokingly described their sound as "Nintendocore", although the band have gone to lengths reiterating that this merely describes the sound, not the substance. In early 2016 in a statement made from the band they hinted that a new album would be released in the summer, and that they no longer endorse the genre "Nintendocore" but now consider themselves "Prog-tendo".
