Detailed Description

Wilczyca’s Horda delivers a raw and unrelenting celebration of Poland's black metal tradition, a chilling reminder of the genre’s roots that feels both nostalgic and invigorating. Released in 2020 under Godz ov War Productions, this second full-length offering solidifies the duo's commitment to crafting cold, unyielding black metal in its purest form.

From the outset, Horda eschews modern polish for a sound steeped in the raw, abrasive atmosphere of the second wave. The album’s unrefined production feels intentional—evoking decay and desolation with a "rotten" edge that enthusiasts of underground black metal will immediately recognize and appreciate. Clocking in at just under 40 minutes, its eight tracks are a relentless assault, interspersed with haunting ambient sections that evoke a sense of creeping dread.

Musically, Horda is a masterclass in balancing aggression with atmosphere. The razor-sharp guitars cut through the mix with vicious precision, while the drums maintain a surprising clarity without compromising the lo-fi aesthetic. The vocals are a standout feature—drenched in malice, they channel unholy rage with a piercing, hellish timbre that lingers in the listener’s psyche. The album alternates between blistering tempos and deliberate, almost funereal pacing, creating dynamic contrasts that prevent monotony and amplify its sinister character.

Lyrically, Horda delves into themes of anti-religion and existential defiance, communicated with conviction and intensity. While the lyrics are delivered in Polish, the raw emotion transcends language barriers, adding to the album's immersive nature.

Wilczyca makes no attempt to reinvent the genre but instead delivers a sincere homage to its origins, executed with precision and passion. For those who revel in raw, uncompromising black metal, Horda is a must-listen—a testament to the enduring power of the genre’s primal essence. Whether a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, this album rewards repeated listens, revealing layers of artistry beneath its brutal exterior.
