– History –

2002-2005
Originally formed in early 2002 by S. Smerte and Hellpig, both active in the extreme metal underground since the early nineties, with the intention of carrying the torch of traditional harsh Black Metal from the late 80ies and early 90ies, into the new millenium. After a crude demo in 2003, drummer Harm joined and the core trifecta of the cult was complete. 2004 saw the release of the debut 7” Ep as well as the debut album and a split Lp/Cd with Finnish Black Metal horde Sargeist. In this period the first couple of live ceremonies were performed.

2006-2008
2006 saw the release of the second album “The Devil’s Music”, a fast and furious attack on all senses. Many shows were performed in support of the album, including a direct local support for Gorgoroth, as well as several festivals in both Denmark (Aalborg Metal Festival with Destruction, Enslaved etc and Metal Magic Festival) and Germany (United Metal Maniacs with Adorior, Archgoat, Dødheimsgard etc..)

2009-2013
In early 2009 the third album “Contaminating the Divine” was released to critical acclaim and saw Horned Almighty generating quite a bit of noise in the underground. Written and recorded in a dilapidated attic during in the fall of 2008, the album features a handful of standout tracks that are still a regular part of the live set to this day.

“Contaminating the Divine” got to the ears of Lee Barrett, responsible for signing Emperor, Opeth etc. in the early nineties, and a deal was signed for the fourth album “Necro Spirituals” which was released on Candlelight Records in 2010. 

In the wake of “Necro Spirituals”, Horned Almighty did the first full European tour alongside French Black Metal crooners Glorior Belli, covering previously unsoiled territory. The tour went through The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany.

To end the cycle for Necro Spirituals, Horned Almighty was invited to play the Inferno Festival in Oslo, Norway in early 2013 alongside Dark Funeral, Behexen, Suffocation etc…

2013-2016
With the addition of Haxen on bass in 2013, an unholy covenant was made, which persists to this day. The baptism by fire for Haxen was the recording and release of the 5th album “World of Tombs” in 2014. Many shows were played to support the album, including a ritual at Copenhell in 2015, Denmarks biggest metal festival, also featuring bands like Marduk, Bloodbath, Morgoth and many more.

2017-2023
For the next few years Horned Almighty laid low while slowly gathering material for their 6th album. “To Fathom the Master’s Grand Design” was recorded in August 2019 and released in January 2020, only two months before the worldwide pandemic put all live activity to a screeching halt for 2 years. Only 3 shows were played in immediate support of the album, before the world shut down.

2024
Now, nearly four years later, Horned Almighty is back with an insatiable hunger and a brand new album. Rising from the ashes of the past, Horned Almighty returns in 2024 with their seventh studio album “Contagion Zero”, the strongest to date! Revisiting the fires of darkness, which initially gave birth to the creation of Horned Almighty, “Contagion Zero” is Black Metal immaculate!

From dissonant looming darkness, to frenzied aggression and everything in between, the album’s 7 tracks slither, trample, twist and turn through almost forty minutes of intense Black Metal, firmly rooted in tradition.
