Zornheym is a symphonic black and death metal band based in Stockholm founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn (ex-Dark Funeral). Zornheym quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and cinematic narrative revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. The line-up is completed by Facebreaker's Bendler on vocals, guitarist and musical arranger Scucca, and Diabolical drummer Angst. Inspiration comes from icons such as Dissection, Dimmu Borgir and King Diamond. The extreme music is paired with real string orchestration and a powerful full choir. Every song on the debut album will have a visual accompaniment in the form of short graphic stories with further exploration of the themes as short films in place of the standard approach to music videos.
I must say that with this first single, I am very excited to hear the full album. The track is epic in every sense of the word and is sure to give the already strong roster of extreme symphonic albums this year a run for their money.
