SERMONS OF THE BLACK FLAME is once again pure Black Metal, committed to the traditions of the Scandi-navian school - but even more varied and epic than its two predecessors. Drummer Tempestas comments in an interview with Undergrounded.de: "We don't want to write songs that go down easily and that you get tired of after three listens. For us, the artistic aspect and the philosophy behind it are very important."
Eight new compositions - multifaceted, (not too) melodic, full of passion and atmospheric depth; after the great "Into The Fires Of The Black Flame", one is reluctant to return to the disillusioning reality of the present

The band plays a fast, aggressive style of black metal that would go on to be more 'polished' in later releases. But on Frühlingserwachen, the sound is still quite gritty and raw, despite decent production values, and works well with its subject matter of WWI & WWII (with some anti-religious sentiments thrown in for good measure). The band leans into this theme with vocalist Iblis credited for "propaganda" and drummer Mayhemic Destructor as "artillery," a fitting description for the drums on the album.
Across the album's 41 minute (fantastical) landscape are spread lyrics of splendorous mythology, swords & sorcery, vast forgotten realms brought to life through wily, wanderlusting black metal betraying a noble melodicism
Horna was created by Shatraug (guitar, vocals) and Moredhel (bass) back in 1993 under the name Shadowed. In 1994 Gorthaur (drums) joined the band and the name was changed to Horna.
