Horned Almighty are a band from Denmark that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a very raw, dissonant and satanic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Contagion Zero" which will be released in July by Soulseller Records.
Synths start off the album along with some voices in the background as well as adding in some clean playing before going into a heavier direction. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording and one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the tracks also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, growls can also be heard at times.
The music also has its dissonant moments along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of both modern and old school influences as well a s some tracks also adding in a small amount of angry shouts. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Darkness and Death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Horned Almighty and if you are a fan of raw, dissonant and satanic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gospels Of Sickness" "Furnace of Sulphur And Fire" and "Darken The World". 8 out of 10.
