Their single "Ancestral Blessing" echoes with the resonant themes of heritage and tradition, and their self-titled release "Metal Örizon" encapsulates the band's journey and identity, presenting a sound that is uniquely theirs while resonating with the global metal community. Metal Orizon's dedication to their art and their roots has solidified their status as metal ambassadors of the African continent.
