I've listened to Achilles for years on Pandora, bought their mp3s, and finally had to own a physical disc of this first full-length masterpiece! These four guys honestly produce some of the best & most refreshing hardcore I've ever heard. Such precision in the music, such passion in the vocals, and perfectly composed from start to finish. Give this album a spin & Achilles might just become one of your favorite bands that you've never heard of! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Keep Your Eyes Open *by 6***1 on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2007* This is a classic. Keep your eyes open for the new Achilles record "Hospice" coming out on HEX Records this spring. I saw a few songs from the record performed live and all I can say is "wow." If you own this disc, please keep supporting these guys. They're staying true to hardcore and putting out stuff worth supporting. And if you're like me, it's worth memorizing every last lyric and screaming at every show. If you haven't heard them yet, please buy this now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Achilles - Rochester, NY's finest *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2006* Achilles...what can I say? Solid, precise, in-you-face, intense, emotional, biting hardcore from the Roc, NY. "The Dark Horse" is unrelenting in its commitment to true hardcore, not the sugary sweet sound that mallrats bang their heads to...this is the real deal...take a listen for yourselves...you'll have a hard time getting this disc OUT of your player. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/41808526-the-dark-horse](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/41808526-the-dark-horse) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
