03. Lament Of The Condemned

Bristol 4-piece Hora are set to announce their presence on the scene when they unleash their debut EP »Witch Trial Sessions Vol. 1« on February 9, 2024. Hora’s rich sound is built on a backbone of fuzzed-out doom with prominent doses of classic heavy metal and other influences. From the spacey intro on first track »The Judge’s Conceit«, to the monolithic final chords of closer »Lament Of The Condemned«, Hora establishes a crushing sound replete with grooving riffs, melodic leads, and dynamic song structures.

Lyrically, the three songs are inspired by the Cornish witch trials of the 17th century, and the witch’s tower at Launceston Gaol, which is said to be the site of witch burnings. Each song considers a different actor in the trials – the judge, the executioner, and the condemned. The songs of this EP came together organically over the course of extended live jam sessions in the past year, and form the first half of the »Witch Trial Sessions«.

Mixed and mastered by Mike.
Drums and vocals recorded at New Cut Studios, Bristol.
