Finland's Horna have returned with a new recording which shows the music expanding on their satanic style of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Nyx - Hymnejä Yölle" which will be released in September by W.T.C Productions.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are mostly angry sounding black metal screams and the music is also very heavily rooted in the classic Finnish tradition.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, clear vocals are also added on a couple of tracks and acoustic guitars and synths are added on the closing song and the music goes into more of neo-folk direction
On this recording Horna remains true to the fast, raw and satanic style of black metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics are written in Finnish and cover Satanism, Occultism, Evil and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Horna and if you are a fan of t his band, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACSK INCLUDE "Hymni I" and "Hymni V". 8/5 out of 10.
