Germany's solo project Horn has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a nature orientated and folk influenced form of pagan black metal and this is a review of a 2024 album "Daudswiärk" which will be released in may by Northern Silence Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. When synths are utilized they also give the songs more of an atmospheric and dystopian feeling along with the vocals being mostly grim sounding black metal screams and the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style.
When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing.
Elements of folk music are also added into certain sections of the album along with one song also introducing clear pagan vocals into the music as well as one of the tracks also being long and epic in length, spoken word parts can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover rural life in Westphalia around the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Horn and if you are a f an of folk influenced pagan black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Braud" "Broth" and "Landrake". 8 out of 10.
