Стрийм : HOR : Exitium

HOR are a Greek duo of the so-called “second wave” of black metal, captured precisely by the Norwegian black metal scene of the 90’s, which laid the foundations for a whole new culture and generation that  is truly worshiped today.
The band was found in the fall of 2017 by Ophion (guitars) and Throne (bass and vocals) in Athens, Greece.
The story of the musicians’ union is very reminiscent of the one of Satyr and Frost (Satyricon) – Ophion and Throne were connected around their love of black metal music in its primal and true form, too.
Before meeting each other, they participate in other music projects, but subsequently end their relationship with them precisely because of differences in understanding of how black metal music should sound and what it should express as an emotion.
Gathered together, the musicians begin to unanimously work in one direction – to bring to light even the darkest corner of their minds and souls through the prism of traditional and raw sound, following strictly the freezing cold, Norwegian roots.
An year after their founding, HOR enter Dimon’s Studios in Athens for the recording of  their debut album, “Exitium”, which perfectly materializes the ideology of the two talented musicians.
The album  lyrics  cover topics such as human existence, life and death and  the opposite and ever-colliding sides that breathe in each of us.
A statement against  all organized religions and insignificant ideas that occupy human thought as parasites.
The main idea of ​​the album is to tell a morbid story about humanity, about all the passion and pain, about all its contradiction.
HOR present their work not simply as a personification of evil, but as a representation of the human element as part of this tormenting  evil.

The full length is now available for order via  Sanit Mils Records.
