I didn't know where this was going when I started writing it, but as can often happen as a musician, I ended up with something that spoke of me personally. This is a direct result of pouring myself into a track.

And apparently, I didn't need to use words.

Originally recorded and mixed in July 2013.
Remastered in January 2017.

Most of the time I feel like I have to work at something before it's an acceptable product. This time, though, I spent one day, total, on writing, tracking, and mixing. I feel as though the music created itself. But, whether it did or not, I'm very, very happy with it. This song paints a picture, the way I believe all music should paint pictures. I can just see it in my head, and that is a beautiful thing.

Music really can talk.

NO EMPATHY FOR ANYONE

No empathy for anyone.
Who would help me, i cannot help myself.
My invisible endless emptiness and sadness has no end.
This world is cold and apathetic. And I am too.
No empathy for anyone!!!.

GNAW THEIR TONGUES - PALENESS

HORNA should need no introduction. For over 20 years now, the Finnish black metal institution - founded by uber-prolific guitarist/songwriter Shatraug (SARGEIST, Behexen, et al) - have built a vast, virulent body of work beyond compare. Hailing the ancient ways, HORNA have always honored the underground with myriad EP and split releases. In the interim since their last album for W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS, 2013's critically acclaimed Askel lähempänä Saatanaa, the quintet have released two splits, with Den Saakaldte and Demonic Christ, and now arrives their highly anticipated ninth album, Hengen Tulet.

Their first album for W.T.C., Askel lähempänä Saatanaa served as a unique turning point in the HORNA canon. Not only was there a five-year gap between albums - almost an eternity in HORNA terms, considering their restless release schedule - but it was the first album to feature vocalist Spellgoth following the departure of longtime frontman Corvus. Although new to the HORNA camp, Spellgoth is a scene veteran, numbering Darkwoods My Betrothed, Black Death Ritual, and Prevalent Resistance among his resume, as well as classic session vocals for Baptism's Morbid Wings of Sathanas. With his arrival brought both a new and renewed focus to HORNA: Askel lähempänä Saatanaa brimmed with the ancient mysticism of the band's earliest work, and yet revealing new nightside shapes.

Now, with Hengen Tulet, HORNA continue to refine that approach, and yet bring back in the filthier textures of the Corvus years. Both sonicaly and songwriting-wise, Askel lähempänä Saatanaa was something of a throwback to mid '90s black metal classicism. By contrast, Hengen Tulet carries forward a similar songwriting aesthetic - surging 'n' swooshing speed, spiraling melody both majestic and malevolent - but reinvigorates a foul, fetid primitivism. It's still a supremely varied yet focused spin, compact (and caustic) as ever, but the headbanging, hard-charging tropes are surely a sign of HORNA's well-oiled machinery lately on the live front, where Spellgoth has cultivated no small amount of infamy for his penetrating performances.

The third glorious epoch of HORNA continues with Hengen Tulet, and yet further live assaults are planned for the rest of the year and next. (N.T.B.)

Gonna make your skin bleed

Infant Annihilator - Decapitation Fornication

(Sov, sov. För en stund har du kanske en chans till ro.)

Somliga av oss är Drabbade, men ingen vet varför. 
Vi är bara helt tappade och förföljda av kaos och elände, 
och vi blir bara mer och mer sabbade....
 
Direkt från mörkrets Västerås så utdrygar jag min egen livslängd och förhalar.
Men jag har levt på lånad tid i många år nu, och jag hör hur klockorna klämtar.
Så nu undrar jag bara om det äntligen är stillheten och den eviga tystnaden som väntar.
 
I denna dystopiska dimma, i staden där blodet alltid rinner. 
I Västra Aros där somliga bara skjuter upp och försvinner. 
I Västerås där mörkret alltid vinner... I denna stad av smuts, hor, ångest och vansinne. 

(Sov, sov. För en stund har du kanske en chans till ro.) 

För cirka 30 år sedan föddes jag här, och sedan dess har jag bara varit till ett enda stort besvär...
 
Platsen där folk hugger varandra i ryggen och äter rohypnol för att tappa sitt minne. 
Platsen där man äter zyprexa och haldol för att tygla sitt ursinne, 
och där leponex får folk att sluta sig i sitt inre. 
Platsen där alkohol och xanor framhäver ditt vansinne. 
I skuggorna där falskheten alltid vinner, där lojaliteten försvinner.
 
I denna dystopiska dimma, i staden där blodet rinner. 
I Västra Aros där somliga bara skjuter upp och försvinner. 
I Västerås där mörkret alltid vinner... I denna stad av smuts, hor, ångest och vansinne. 
 
För cirka 30 år sedan föddes jag här, och sedan dess har jag bara varit till ett enda stort besvär...

(Sov, sov. För en stund har du kanske en chans till ro.
Bror, sov. Få en stund härifrån.)

Ofdrykkja - Västerås

From upcoming, as yet untitled split with Skjelver. Depressive Suicidal Black Power Electronics. Is it possible that there is a glimmer of hope in the midst of Hell cascading all around us? The only salvation from suffering is finding one you can suffer together with. Bless the day when I found a friend whose torment mirrored my own. Dedicated to my good friend Xasthuriath of Bitter Reflections. Let us share the horrors that afflict us and learn to smile again as Death calmly awaits our time.
