Next album ="A Natural Death" is the third album by
Horse the Band .Vocalist Nathan Winneke (General Tzo Zee Zod) states: "A Natural Death" is about the futility and arrogance of creation and destruction, the overwhelming scale of space and time, and the brutal majesty of nature, the horror of birth and the beauty of death. Everyone who will ever live will die a natural death, and will soon after be forgotten for eternity. Hopefully this album will serve as a warning to the human race to stop taking itself so seriously, as we have seen the dire consequences of its actions in the future.
