Finland's Horna have returned with a new recording which continues the raw and old school style of satanic black metal from previous releases and this is a review of their 2020 album "Kuoleman Kirjo" which will be released in December by W.T.C Productions.
A very dark, heavy and melodic sound starts off the album while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams along with the music also adding in a great amount of 90's influences but keeping it modern at the same time.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while some of the tracks are also long and epic in length. On some of the tracks the vocals also start getting more deeper and angry sounding as well as adding in a clean style on a few of the songs, when guitar leads and solos are finally added onto the recording they are also done in a very melodic style and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Horna takes their satanic style of black metal into more of a modern and melodic style but keeping the raw aggression and heaviness of their previous releases. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Satanism, Evil, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Horna and if you are a fan of this band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Saatanan Viha" "Elavana, Kuolleena" "Unohtumaton" and "Ota Minut Vastaan". 8 out of 10.
