The concept behind "Visions Of Storm"
What you see is the cover of "Visions Of Storm", the new album from Hörnhammer.
The release date is scheduled for May 12, 2017: through Razed Soul Productions/Ominous Domain.
All the artwork has been created by HH Design.
This is the tracklist:
Vortex Of Mayhem The Call Of Blood The Cruelest Misanthropy When Hate Unites, Evil Is Born Wolfury The Flag Of The Inverted Cross (Necrodeath Cover) The Fist Of The Fucking Fullmoon (FFF) Sons Of Lust Unblessed Purity Of Fire (Warmageddon) T.O.D. (Torrent Of Death)
As you can see, the album features a Necrodeath Cover, with the gentle permission of Peso, their historic drummer.
A first song, "The Cruelest Misanthropy", is available on the Bandcamp page of the label:
The rest of the songs follow a specific concept: as you may know, we live into a tormented World, where war and social conflicts are the main focus of human relations.
All the lyrics are focused on this aspect: for this album I've decided to switch to themes related to the actual state of global society but...hey, but this doesn't mean that I've produced a politicized album!
All the songs talk about war, rebellions, social abuses, anti-human spiritualism, bad times of recent history.
VERY IMPORTANT THING: if you read carefully, you can easily understand that this is NOT A NSBM ALBUM! I hate politics, I hate politicians, I hate all the human beings who live for this fake cause. Soon I'll publish the lyrics section on this site and if you will read terms like "purity of a race" or "glory of war" and similar things, this happened just because I've tried to describe these atrocities through a very specific, detailed visions!
These are my visions, these are the stoms of mankind, as the booklet of the album says: so, you can sleep well....am not a nazi, fascist or racist (or also a shitty communist)...I'm just a bit elitist, but I'll never be racist! NEVER!
This is an explanation of all the single songs to let you understand the concept behind the album.
Have a nice read!
"Vortex Of Mayhem"
A man who hates everyone, everything (as I feel to be sometimes...) who tries to evoke the real spirit of destruction: he hates even himself for the reason of belonging to human race!
He needs to find something that goes over his human nature, because he needs to reborn and find the real purity of existence into a new race where he feel to belong to.
This song explains his ritual for trying to become that.
Invoking the forces of storm to find an help for his mission of self-destruction.
"The Call Of Blood"
This man tries to become the new dictator, the new force of a global nation.
His words are full of pride, but the real object of his intent wll be revealed after.
He pushes his words with some religious citations, to conquer the soul of everyone.
(The first title for this song was "Verführer", a german terms who means "Seducer/Corrupter" in english. The first title was also a recall to Adolf Hitler, but just in the meaning of cruel dictator, nothing more.)
"The Cruelest Misanthropy"
A song who specifies the real attitude of what a real strong man needs to be proud of being a new human. Cold like ice, with the battles of the past in the mind, without any will to bring peace, to support the cold flames who burns within, who stands inside the soul of every man.
(This song was recorded the previous year, the lyrics fit well inot the concept so it was perfect for the album.)
"When Hate Unites, Evil is Born"
Common people have been hypnotized by the charme of this strong man, so now he can say everything to the mankind: if he says "Kill each other to be free" they will obey, the human spirit has been corrupted. The emptiness has been completed, destruction is near.
"Wolfury"
Another declaration of purity & strongness: be like a wolf, be ready to attack, don't trust anyone.
The explaination is very simple: UNLEASH YOUR WOLFURY!
There are no gods, you're your own gods, destroy to survive...or to be destroyed!
What's your destiny?
"The Flag of the Inverted Cross"
A song from Necrodeath, I thing it fits well with the rest of the album, due to its lyrics.
Invoking a demon through the creeping chaos, to destroy everything in the name of evil!
(Thanks to Peso for the permission)
"The Fist of the Fucking Fullmoon (FFF)"
This a specific recall to the tragedy of "The night of the long knives" as the lyrics say.
The bells of death sound in the night, some people start to kill the minorities who have never been accepted by the newborn regime of purity.
There's no more will for mercy, there's nothing more like that in some human souls!
They're the reincarnation of void.
"The first of the storms, will the be last sign of doom!" as the lyrics in the ending say.
(When you'll hear the track, you'll listen to a scream who says "This is Celtic-Fucking-Frost-Metal!" due to to the nature of the riff that's veeeery Celtic Frost-influenced!
But, this happened due to the fact that I was drunk when I recorded the vocal parts for this song! ...so I've decided to keep it in the mix, because it's a cool thing in my opinion!
This riff comes from one of my first productions ever done, when I had a classic black metal project called Apathes in 2006/2007, and this was the main riff for the unreleased album called "The Ancient Arts of Grimness",)
"Sons of Lust"
The next step of the regime: womens are only pleasure toys!
Destroy them all or make them pregnant, to let the race keep its continuity!
This is a recall to the rapes and femicides inside the actual society and even at the times of SS Troops, happened inside the concentration camps...it's sad, right?
This is what happens today, as I've said...THESE ARE THE STORMS OF MANKIND!
(This song was released as a preview some months ago, with the name of "Son Of Lust", but lyrics and structure have been changed. The first new title was "Slaves Of Death" but at the end I've preferred to keep the original name.)
"Unblessed Purity Of Fire (Warmageddon)"
Someone found a new way to run away from these storms...so they try to invoke a Majestic Dragon Of Fire, with Infinite Strength. They invoke a new form of so called evil who can reveal its real goodness only in this specific situation: the only solution is going over the Cosmos, the laws of dimensional World, to find a new state of life over the common death.
Only a few ones can have access to this World: only the dictator and some trusted followers, the rest of the World is going down in flames.
(This song is a personal dedication to one of my musical symbols: Jon Nödtveidt.
Hail Jon, you'll live forever.)
"T.O.D. (Torrent Of Death)"
The dictator now lives into another dimension, with only a few humans except him.
The rest of the World is dead, only a few survived but they will die as the same for hunger or for the suffering of being alone...so the scream who says "Never Ending Torrent Of Death" is not a fortuity!
The last human being will die in the final ambient/noise track at the end of the song...living alone among the never ending suffering is too extreme for a single human being!
The dictator destroyed all humans only with pushing their pride and glory and so, the common defects of mankind.
Earth is free of humans now.
The élite of the dictator now is a reality...but it's not for the ones who he used to call "weak".
...THE END!
These are the steps of the album...hope you enjoyed!
Maybe, you can find some similarities with the actual state of global society, but it may depend from your view of the World...in every case, reality is very creepy, right?
