Horna - Nyx Hymneja Yolle 8/10

Picked up the new one on cassette this week, maybe should have gone vinyl, the artwork is superb. Six tracks in all, five of which are storming , hypnotic Black Metal in line with the likes of Kampfar and early Satyricon. I even here echoes of Moonsorrow hear. Far cleaner  production than usual for Horna here too. Last track is an expansive black folk piece with clean vocals adding to the impression, like it or not, that Horna are all very grown up these days. Well, after thirty years on the go...

Fourth and final album before the leading lady struck out on her own, it showcased the band at their peak with a number of fist pumping anthems and Doros's hungry young wolverine vocals calling a generation of  headbangers to arms.
