Moonlight Sorcery - Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle (Cassette)

"Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle" is a perfect combination of the atmosphere from "Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity" and the rawness of "Nightwind: The Conqueror from the Stars", the band’s two EPs released in 2022 and early 2023.

Moonlight Sorcery wants to raise the bar, and these new nine songs have even more melodic hooks and shreddy guitar work. Frozen synth walls further develop the Finnish trio’s unique sound, a vibe you cannot find in any other black metal record.

"Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle" follows a specific narrative, and its nine compositions tell a single tale, with every song starting where the previous one left off. “Basically, our debut could be a single 44-minute song”, the band said. Yet, the pleasure of learning such a tale is yours. Prepare, wanderer, to meet the "Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle"!
