May contain small traces of Satan.<\/p>\n

Chances<\/a> are, you know Horna, <\/strong>even if you don’t like black metal. The whole “raw but melodic” sound of the Finnish scene is embodied in them. Many of their former (and current) musicians have achieved fame in other bands. Satanic Warmaster<\/strong>, Sargeist<\/strong>, Baptism<\/strong>, Behexen<\/strong>, Sotajumala<\/strong>, and Alghazanth<\/strong>\u00a0are only the most known. Throughout their history their sound has remained relatively uniform, though long-time fans will have noted a few bigger changes. The most important of these developments seems to have come and gone as the band has rotated through front men. Vocalist Corvus, though no longer with the band, brought upon a new era of melodies when he joined in 2002, and Horna took their place at\u00a0the forefront of the Finnish scene. However, this change seemed to be only temporary, as Corvus was replaced by Spellgoth around 2009, marking another shift in the band’s sound.<\/p>\n

Ba<\/a>ck in 2013 when the band released Askel L\u00e4hemp\u00e4n\u00e4 Saatanaa<\/a><\/em>, their first with Spellgoth on vocals, it seemed that the melodies had gone with the man who had brought them. Returning to a rawer and more primitive sound, it wasn’t a bad album but easily one of the band’s weakest. With Hengen Tulet,<\/em> Horna seek to follow the same path but with a more fully realized vision.<\/p>\n
