Horned Almighty

**Horned Almighty** is a Danish black metal force hailing from Copenhagen, formed in 2002 by members of bands like Sacrificial and Thorium. Known for their raw, high-energy blend of black metal and rock ’n’ roll swagger (often dubbed “black ’n’ roll”), they’ve carved out a niche with their blasphemous themes and unrelenting live shows. The band’s lineup, including vocalist/guitarist Smerte and bassist Necro, delivers a chaotic yet catchy sound that nods to classic black metal while injecting fist-pumping grooves.

Over the years, these misanthropic maestros have dropped a string of raucous albums, including *World of Tombs* (2020) and *Contagion Zero* (2023), which showcase their signature mix of filth-ridden riffs and darkly anthemic hooks. Tracks like *Necro Spirituals* and *To Fathom the Master’s Grand Design* revel in themes of decay, spiritual corruption, and outright rebellion. With tours alongside acts like Marduk and a reputation for ear-splitting, sweat-drenched performances, Horned Almighty remains a rowdy staple for fans who like their black metal served with a side of unhinged rock attitude.
