Germany's solo project Horn has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a folk influenced and nature orientated form of pagan black metal and this is a review of his self released 2022 album "Verzet" which will be released in May.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also mixing in a lot of folk instruments and clean pagan vocals are also a very huge part of the album.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats. Throughout the album you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the tremolo picking also gives the music more of a raw feeling when they are utilized.
A Couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with the music also capturing a very medieval atmosphere at times. Cello's can also be heard in certain sections of the recording as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly and one song is also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover rebellion, the state of an inebriated mind and the importance of perseverance and principles.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Horn and if you are a fan of folk influenced pagan black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Alpenrekorder" "A Hill To Die On" and "Verzet". 8 out of 10.
