Formed in 1970 more or less ex-Deep Purple bassist Nick Simper, Warhorse were intelligibly close to early Deep Purple in their blend of keyboard-colored progressive rock and roll and early hard metal. The grouping coalesced when Simper left Deep Purple in 1969 to pencil lead soul isaac Bashevis Singer Marsha Hunt's patronage band, which included Rick Wakeman on keyboards for a patch. The patronage band formed the nucleus of Warhorse, which recorded a couple of albums for Vertigo in the early 1970s. With their early strong rock/metal sounds and a isaac Bashevis Singer (Ashley Holt) wHO could roll into overserious, high booming vocal phrases, the group have besides been compared to early Black Sabbath, although they lacked the hooks necessary to accomplish the same grade of success as Sabbath or Purple. Echoes of Yes (in the keyboards) and maybe Uriah Heep can be heard as easily. Warhorse stone-broke up in 1973, with drummer Mac Poole joining Gong, and Holt and drummer Barney James (wHO shortly replaced Poole in Warhorse's terminal years) sledding to Rick Wakeman's band.
