A very dark yet heavy 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 and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while the music is very heavily rooted in the second wave era of the genre. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style, spoken words can also be heard briefly along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Hor plays a style of black metal that is very raw and aggressive in t he 90's second wave tradition. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover misanthropy and nihilism themes.
In my opinion Hor are a very great sounding old school black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Reborn In Scorn" and "Stellar Silenced Tomb". 8 out of 10.
