Horna needs little introduction, as they are one of the most phenomenally evil and intense fucking black metal bands to ever erupt from the wooded depths of Finland. Alongside Barathrum and Impaled Nazarene, they represent the true elite from said scene, and have rarely if ever wavered.Vuohipaimen translates to something like 'Goat Shepherd', an appropriate beast of a title for this venomous, Satanic short-player. "Aldebaranin Susi" is the centerpiece here, nearly five minutes of Corvus' sadistic snarling, tinny cymbals and simple beats which hunt alongside the wolven, ripping Hellhammer-inspired guitar lines of Shatraug and Infection. The other piece is a traditional tune, "Oi Kallis Kotimaa", set to the Horna method, but with more manly, traditional vocals.
This is one of the few kvlt bands whose rare releases are well worth the tracking down. Limited to 1000 hand printed copies, and if you were lucky enough to snag one of the first 100 you got a t-shirt. Fuck. Most of the unworthy, including myself, will just have to settle for the .mp3s. Still worth it though.
Verdict: Win [7/10] (my wolfen sentiments exactly)
