Irish blackened extreme metal force HORRENDA has released their searing new single “Nun’s Tears”, the final harbinger of chaos before the arrival of their anticipated full-length album, Think On Your Sins, out May 9th via Fiadh Productions.
A tortured invocation drenched in religious decay, “Nun’s Tears” distills the band’s signature blend of raw black metal filth, death-laced fury, and nihilistic punk vitriol into a track that feels like a cathedral set ablaze. Shrieking guitars scrape against walls of blast beats, while Arron “Nomad” O’Shaughnessy channels anguish and blasphemy in equal measure, a vocal performance equal parts exorcism and execution.
Frontman Darragh “Outis” O’Connor states, ““Nun’s Tears” is dark, raw, and unapologetic ballad, one of our heaviest tracks to date. The video plunges into Gustave Doré’s haunting vision of Dante’s nine circles of Hell, as Horrenda and Roman poet Virgil guide you through corrupt institutions, crises of faith, and the blackened depths of human nature.”
With Think On Your Sins, HORRENDA doesn’t merely perform extreme metal, they embody it. The album is a fevered meditation on the sins of empire, religious trauma, and the scorched ruins of national identity. Expect no redemption. Only wrath.
