Audrey Horne are a hard rock band from Bergen, Norway. The band took 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 classic rock, similar to bands like Van Halen, Kiss, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Faith No More and Alice In Chains.

The band was formed in 2002 by Toschie (formerly in Sylvia Wane), Thomas Tofthagen (Sahg), Arve Isdal aka Ice Dale (Enslaved, Bourbon Flame ao), Kjetil Greve (Deride), Tom Cato Visnes aka King (Gorgoroth, God Seed, Sahg, King Ov Hell) and Herbrand Larsen (Enslaved).

Although some (most) of the members were known from more extreme, progressive or black metal bands, Audrey Horne was to become a more melodic hard classic rock band

Leading up to the band's first album they released the 4-track EP Confessions & Alcohol. The title song from the EP was the single from the upcoming album while the rest of the songs are only found on this EP. The song "Halo" later resurfaced as a live song on some Audrey Horne concerts in 2009.
