Horna
Sanojesi Äärelle
(Moribund Records)
|
Finnish black metal leaders Horna return with a new dual attack. Sanojesi Äärelle delivers two unique albums of desolate black metal sorcery. One album is punchy and hook-oriented, while the other is more epic and trance-inducing. Both are brimming with the sound that has thrust Horna to the forefront of the modern black metal scene.
