Horn's latest album, The Villager, is a mesmerizing journey through the world of folk metal. The German band combines traditional folk instruments, like the hurdy-gurdy and bagpipes, with heavy guitars and pounding drums to create a unique and powerful sound.
The album starts off with the haunting and atmospheric "The Village," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's use of folk melodies and instruments is particularly effective on tracks like "Hunting the Hare," "The Blacksmith," and "The Hunt," where they create a sense of urgency and excitement that perfectly complements the driving rhythms and heavy guitars.
The standout track on the album, however, is "The Forest," which features a beautiful acoustic guitar intro that slowly builds into a thunderous metal riff. The song is a showcase for the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres and create something truly unique.
