The band was formed in 2002, taking its name from Sherilyn Fenn's character in the cult TV series Twin Peaks. Although some of the band's members play or have previously played in black metal bands like Enslaved and Gorgoroth, Audrey Horne's music is far removed from the black metal genre, and can be described as heavy and melodic hard rock, similar to bands like Faith No More, Alice in Chains.

The band's debut album "No Hay Banda" was released in April 2005 and has received generally good reviews and was nominated for two Norwegian Grammy-awards, winning one of them for "Best Norwegian Metal Act".

The second album "Le·Fol·" was released in February 2008. A European tour was done to support the album.

In 2009 the band went to Los Angeles to record their 3rd album with producer Joe Barresi, who'd earlier worked with them on "No Hay Banda". The self-titled album "Audrey Horne" was released on March 1st, 2010 through Indie Recordings.

Audrey Horne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Calm like a bomb, well it all took an ugly turn when you walked in
Armed to the teeth I'll be damned if I go down without a fight
Armed with mistakes, I was chanceless went down before our second round
You walked in on me, so don't be surprised I ain't on top

Bring on your cheap tricks and all of your knives, these bloodshot eyes have seen more than one fight
Somebody told you they left me for dead, well call off the search team, 'cause I am still here

Black-eyed and bruised, it's been years since I was caught red-handed in this game
All in a day, I spend all my mistakes on you my dear
Razorblade sharp it only took a minute to walk over me
Brought to my knees I'll be damned if I go down without a fight

You brought me to the end of my rope, you pulled up a chair and you left me a note
Well I tangled along, but I thought you should know, somebody left me for dead

Line by Line Meaning

Calm like a bomb, well it all took an ugly turn when you walked in
I was eerily composed until you showed up and everything spiraled out of control

Armed to the teeth I'll be damned if I go down without a fight
I am fully prepared for battle and refuse to surrender without resistance

Armed with mistakes, I was chanceless went down before our second round
Due to my past errors, I was at a disadvantage and defeated before our second encounter

You walked in on me, so don't be surprised I ain't on top
Since you interrupted me, don't be shocked that I am not in a favorable position

Bring on your cheap tricks and all of your knives, these bloodshot eyes have seen more than one fight
I'm not afraid of your tricks or weapons because my tired eyes have witnessed countless battles

Somebody told you they left me for dead, well call off the search team, 'cause I am still here
If you were informed I was killed, don't bother searching since I am alive and well

Black-eyed and bruised, it's been years since I was caught red-handed in this game
I bear injuries from past mistakes in this game I've played for years

All in a day, I spend all my mistakes on you my dear
I am willing to give all my errors and shortcomings to you, my beloved

Razorblade sharp it only took a minute to walk over me
Your sharpness enabled you to exploit my vulnerability in a brief moment

Brought to my knees I'll be damned if I go down without a fight
Despite being humbled, I will not submit to defeat without a struggle

You brought me to the end of my rope, you pulled up a chair and you left me a note
You pushed me to my limits, then casually left me a message while sitting down

Well I tangled along, but I thought you should know, somebody left me for dead
I went along with your plan, but I want you to be aware that someone previously tried to kill me
