Germany’s Horn play Pagan-inspired Black Metal – check out these free mp3 samples. Interesting stuff. Elements of it remind me of Burzum, Satanic Warmaster, Bathory, and perhaps even a tinge of UK Heathen doom metallers Bretwaldas – but on the whole it’s quite unique, I think.
Interesting Black Metal fragments we found.
Black Metal is dead. In the UK at least. Seeing as though it is the place that gave birth to the genre it is as fuckin’ useless a broke-dick dog. There is no scene to speak of, just the odd one or two equally useless bands trying in vain to mimic some of the more [...]
Opening with a song title of the length Bal Sagoth would be proud of (thankfully that’s as the only comparison to draw), the imaginatively titled ‘A Glimpse of the Image of Lucifer Gleaming Beyond the Subterraneous Black Sun’ marches forth. Mid paced, it stamps away with the precision of a well oiled Black Metal machine [...]
Not my cup of lava this mate. I did laugh at the song on their samples page called Alpenland II – what the fuck is that? A theme park for cereal fanatics?
lol, i dont like this.. too ambient but yeah.. some people like it..
heh, surprised to see this band here.. I absolutely love it, although is much more atmospheric than the usual stuff here..
I agree, more atmospheric than stuff I normally listen to, but that’s one of the reasons I like it. I find a lot of ‘atmospheric’ Black Metal to be boring and weak, but this has power that doesn’t need 1000bpm drumming. The more I listen to it, the more I really like the guitar sound, the melodies and song structures – but a couple of tracks on ‘Naturkraft’ are a little tedious.
‘alpenland” a perfect name for a theme park.haha..Anyway this is very ambient/atmosphoric bm..Nastiness level almost equate to zero..I would say an average rating for this.
lol, the song titles are German, and ‘Alpen’ quite simply means ‘Alps’ (i.e. the European mountain range that crosses southern Germany), so “Alpenland” probably means something like ‘Land of the Alps’.
…not land of the extra plump raisins and fibrous oat flakes?
