Khors is a Ukrainian black metal band that has carved its niche in the metal scene with their atmospheric and melodic approach to the genre. Founded in 2004 in Kharkiv, the band melds elements of pagan metal and traditional black metal motifs to create a soundscape that reflects the mysticism and paganism of their cultural heritage. The thematic content of their work often revolves around nature, the cosmos, and Slavic spirituality, paired with an underlying current of existential philosophy.
The band's musical journey began with their debut album "The Flame of Eternity’s Decline" in 2005, showcasing a raw and intense black metal sound. Over the years, Khors has refined their style, as evident in albums like "Mysticism" (2008), which further explored atmospheric elements, and "Return to Abandoned" (2010), which featured re-recorded tracks from earlier releases with improved production values. Albums such as "Wisdom of Centuries" (2012) and "Night Falls Onto The Fronts Of Ours" (2015) have solidified their reputation, balancing aggression with a deep sense of melody and ambiance. Khors continues to evolve, with "Beyond the Bestial" and "Where the Word Acquires Eternity" serving as their most recent sonic explorations, continuing the band's tradition of evoking powerful landscapes through their music while confronting profound existential themes.
