Hortus Animae
Hortus Animae is an Italian black metal band that was formed in 1997,
and, as evidenced by their recent
Waltzing Mephisto release, they
are a band with quite a bit of promise.
Black metal is the root of their style, but they toss in several other
elements and ideas (among them, prog and gothic metal)
to forge a relatively diverse style.
Fusing Mayhem and Mike Oldfield in a single song is notable in itself,
and an indication that the band isn't afraid to try something different.
Waltzing Mephisto is a highly recommended symphonic black metal
album, but the best may be yet to come for these guys.
