With Hoof And Horn es el segundo álbum de los Black / Doom Metal belgas Rituals Of The Dead Hand. El Lp incluye cuatro extensas y siniestras piezas, más una breve intro. Han conseguido mezclar a la perfección la atmósfera y las armonías del Doom Metal con la oscuridad y crudeza del Black Metal junto a bajo denso cercano al Sludge. Melodías hipnóticas y lúgubres paisajes sonoros unidos a ligeros arreglos orquestales con una producción tan intensa como opresiva.
Incluye póster formato A2.
Reseñas / Reviews
“Rituals of the Dead Hand are absolutely passionate about their music, as every moment of “With Hoof and Horn” feels perfectly planned and executed. The production is amazing, crushing and powerful and very transparent. Add a fantastic cover artwork kept in black/white with golden letters and we got one of the highlights of the year. This is pure class.” Metal Archives 95/10

“There is quite some variation on various levels: the speed, the addition of explicit vocal contributions (like spoken words, tortured and wretched yells or ceremonial choir-chanting) and the strongly related and cohesive yet, at the same time, remarkable amalgam of different genres included. With the latter I am talking about the injection of elements from stuff like Sludge, Morbid Metal of Death (the Old School way), Post-Black and Funeral Doom Metal (!). It would be way too stupid to dissect each of the tracks individually, for the whole acts like a majestic concept. The entire album is based on dark-dramatic melodies (no, luckily not of the melancholic or artificially-emotional kind) and harsh, down-tuned riffs especially, with a monumental rhythm section, a few tremolo-led leads and hypnotic melodies.” VM Underground

“Rituals of the Dead Hand have created an impressive record. The captivating guitar riffs, emphasized by the drums, are great to bang your head to, and the overall heavy sound of the band would work very well on stage. “Less is more” definitely goes for With Hoof and Horn: the riffs are relatively straightforward, which makes them extra powerful. So if you’re into doom and/or black metal, do yourself a favor and check out this album.” Metal Utopia 7,5/10

“Das zweite Album von Rituals of the dead hand ist nochmal ein weiterer Schritt nach vorne. With hoof and horn ist bösartig, steckt voller dichter Atmosphäre und ist musikalisch auf hohem Niveau. So muss für mich Black Metal mit sehr viel Doom Metal klingen und das Blut in den Adern gefrieren lassen. Für diese großartigen Attribute zücke ich eine 9/10” Soundmagnet 9/10

“Extreme metal in combinatie met oude legendes is blijkbaar een goede combinatie. De muziek voelt vertrouwd aan maar kan je ook plotseling doen vervreemden. Neem daarbij de soundscapes en de lugubere orkestarrangementen, en alles voert je terug naar de 18 eeuw, naar één of andere occulte bijeenkomst. Fans van Burzum, Batuska, Urfaust zullen hier zeker hun gading in vinden.” Amped Up 83/100

“Their exceedingly strong grasp of instrumentation, a willingness to evolve the tracks as they go on, keeps these lengthy offerings interesting. It is music with savagery but it’s not savage music. There’s control, a lot of power and even more poise. Rituals of the Dead Hand are in complete command of the blackened death force that emanates from this album. It permeates through the mind, like fog drifting over a bay.” Games, Brrraaains & A Head Banging Life 8/10
