Bio:

Hordak was formed in autumn 2002 by Autumn and Winter. When they started to play together, their main musical interest was and still is celtiberian pagan metal. Between March and April 2003 Hordak recorded its demo at Autumn and Winter guitar's teacher home studio. Some time later Vascón joined the band, as a bassist, and with this line up in December 2004 Hordak recorded their EP War Has Just Begun. It was recorded and mixed in 21st Century Music Studio, during two days. It was also self-produced and self-financed. In September 2005 Vascón left the band and since then Winter records bass guitar parts. This incident didn't stop Hordak from further composing and Hordak first full album The Last European Wolves was ready in december 2005. Recorded and mixed again in 21st Century Music Studio, and released in 22 of october 2006 by Griffin Music. In the meantime Hordak recorded "Hugin & Munin" for Folkearth third album Drakkars in the Mist and "When Gjallarhorn Will Sound" for Falkenbach tribute album An Hommage to Falkenbach, Part II.Hordak with their music aim to honor Celtiberians, pagans in the Iberian peninsula originated when Celts migrated from Gaul (now France) and integrated with the local Iberians. There are two main topics in Hordak lyrics. First one is about myths and the early European history, the seccond one describes wilderness, and respect to the Mother Nature. Hordak is often wrongly called a viking metal band. Actually, the only viking metal song the band ever recorded is "Hugin & Munin", a song about the Odin's ravens, composed for the Folkearth project. Hordak music is a combination of dynamic and fast metal, with heavy use of blast beats and double bass and Celtic melodies played by session musicians on flutes and bagpipes. Vocally they do not stray away from the usual death growl. Hordak also distinguish itself with artwork and album covers, which are, excluding one from the demo, drawn by Kris Verwimp.

Album:

HORDAK is a metal band from Spain that was formed back in 2002. They consider their music to be "Celtiberian Pagan Metal"; Celtiberian being a blend of Celtic (Irish) and Iberian (which is a group of indigenous people in Spain). The name HORDAK is actually derived from a villain from the classic cartoon, Masters of the Universe. The name apparently inspired the band members with its connection to their childhood and personal beliefs. The album "Padre" was released on January 10, 2016 and showcases their unique sound and blend of genres. If I had to sum it up: it’s like Celtic Power Metal with heavy Spanish influences and grinding Death Metal vocals.The opening track starts off with acoustic strings, which then make an almost seamless transition into electric tones and allowing for the harsh vocals to come roaring in to remind you that this isn't your grandmother's folk music. "Sol Sister" has a pretty cool riff that plays throughout and gets locked in your brain for days. Other tracks include some interesting choices; like spoken words and instruments that are uncommon to the genre."A Leader in Times of War" includes an opening speech that sets a tone of resignation to the idea of defensive war. It is more sobering than anything else, but the song itself is pretty good. "Sol" has a bit of xylophone thrown into the mix, which at first seems like an odd choice but it adds a depth to the song and the track wouldn't be the same without.Likewise, "Father Sun Father Dragon" includes some acoustic guitar that, rather than taking centre stage, plays alongside the electric and the drums to create a haunting but uplifting atmosphere that elevates the song and makes it a stand-out track.All in all, HORDAK has a distinct feel to them that fits into the stereotypical Viking Metal category that is characteristic of many Norwegian bands; but it is clearly distinct. I wouldn't say it is the same music, but rather that it takes that same fierce pride in its own heritage. HORDAK stands apart thanks to the band members’ personal background, which influences their music in a way that can get lost in the mainstream music scene; where everyone wants to copy the newest, hottest thing and it all ends up being derivative. Follow the link below and give them a listen, maybe you'll be as mesmerised as I was.
