The legendary Finnish black metallers Horna revealed a new track "Hymni V". The track is taken from the band's 11th album, Nyx - Hymnejä Yölle, set for international release on 13 September via W.T.C. Productions. Their sound may've undergone subtle shifts of texture throughout those many years, but Horna's vision of unapologetic black metal has never faltered: proud and pure, familiar yet unique, and undeniably eerie and emotive.
Fitting for their 30th anniversary, Horna now unveils a new full-length that bridges past, present, and future: Nyx - Hymnejä Yölle. While the preceding Kuoleman Kirjo challenged with its sheer length - then again, so did 1999's classic Haudankylmyyden Mailla. The new album brings night-sky melodicism conjured forth by founding guitarist Shatraug and longstanding six-string foil Infection, with the new rhythm section of drummer LRH and bassist VnoM creating blistering speed that was somehow swinging.
Of especial note is the production across Nyx - Hymnejä Yölle: arguably the "cleanest" production Horna have yet had, it only heightens said mysticism and adds a palatable sheen to these raging wraiths of song - the latent emotion brought to a boil, the hypnotism pulling heartstrings in magickal collusion.
It's Horna. Their legendry continues to be written... Listen now to "Hymni V"! Link
