Thy sinister werewolf kult of Horna was born in 1993 by Shatraug and Moredhel. The hammer of uncreation, Gorthaur, joined in 1994 and the first release "Varjoissa" was created in 1995. Joined by Satanic Warmaster in 1996, Horna set out the course lead by "Hiidentorni" all the way upon the grim splendour of "Sudentaival". After that Warmaster left to concentrate on his own satanazistic ideals with a solo project and the new vocalist Corvus was chosen.
Just to correct a few things, personally we feel that the “Haudankylmyyden Mailla” album is not officially a part of Horna. It was done during a difficult struggle with Shatraug surviving a near-death experience and Moredhel leaving the band during the studio session. This album bears nothing but ill memories and Horna will never play any of it´s songs live. We also encourage each of you to avoid Millenium Metal for still keeping this album available and ripping us off. It´s clear that there is a second pressing out since a long time. First one had a manufacturing mistake - all the tray inlays were upside down! Despite many "civilized" attempts to contact Millenium to solve this we now deal with this in the harshest fashion.
Lyrically Horna has developed from harsh primitive devil worship to a nationalistic, atmospheric and poetic direction – more and more in the veins of our emotions. We are still captured by the obscurity of many myths and beliefs but it´s mostly in our hearts and heritage what we now write of. Strength through the journey so far... With Iron Will and a Fist to match it.
