  • Hunts & Wars

    CSR130CD

    Artist: TenHornedBeast

    Label: Cold Spring

    CSR130CD. TenHornedBeast’s third album for Cold Spring Records is titled “Hunts & Wars”. Recorded over a three year period from 2006 to 2009 this album introduces subtle changes to the established TenHornedBeast sound with shorter delicate interludes separating longer tracks that rage with heavy distortion and doom-drone barbarism.

    “Hunts & Wars” progresses the established TenHornedBeast sound using leaden, sub-tuned bass guitar to create rhythms and riffs that dominate a battlefield of vast ritual percussion and droning walls of electric dissonance, creating epic and expansive textures that by turns burn with frost and freeze with fire.

    Heavily influenced by the oneiric visions of Robert E Howard and Lord Dunsany. ”Hunts & Wars” seeks to evoke the elemental, anti-modern fantasias of these writers and is presented with artwork by noted American graphic designer Kevin Yuen (Sunn O))), Wolves In The Throne Room) to its full grotesque glory.

    The days have come when the steel will rule. Titans arise, monuments fall. Ballads of victory and defeat are sung aloud as from the highest steps we are swept on to the eternal Hunts and Wars.

  • My Horns Are A Flame To Draw Down The Truth

    CSR106CD

    Artist: TenHornedBeast

    Label: Cold Spring

    CSR106CD. The TenHornedBeast rises again. "My Horns Are A Flame To Draw Down The Truth" sees five new compositions from black ambient / doom overlord Christopher Walton, taken from the same sessions that gave forth "The Sacred Truth".

    "My Horns Are A Flame To Draw Down The Truth" consists of three remixes / expansions / contractions of pieces from the debut album "The Sacred Truth" and two totally new compositions in a similar style to this dark masterpiece.

    Walton has stripped the songs to their bare bones and allowed them space to breathe again. This album is all-new but continues the atmosphere of the debut and can be considered a companion piece.

    Speaking in Rock-A-Rolla Magazine on the release of "The Sacred Truth" Walton said: "I realised that the "sacred truth" is my own focus, desire and will. TenHornedBeast is, as it says on the album, my visions and I need to draw down the Current to me".

    Take Hold Of The Flame.
