Hornwood Fell

Italian Black Metal Duo

Hornwood Fell was originally formed under the name Krom in 2002. In early 2006, and after releasing four demos under the original band name, Krom changed name to Kailash (4), at the insistence of record label Trazeroeuno to avoid confusion with another Italian band also named Krom. Kailash released two full-length albums (the first of which was a compilation of Krom's third and fourth demos); a third release was planned but cancelled. Kailash changed name to Hornwood Fell in May 2013 in order to sign a contract with Avantgarde Music, since Kailash already had a legal agreement with Abridged Pause Recordings. The project was born in May 2013 under the Nineties black metal influence. Among the group’s major influences the fierceness of Ulver’s Nattens Madrigal, the compulsiveness of Darkthrone, the first Borknagar album, Satyricon and Burzum. Rotten sounds. The past recurs and condensates in shadows and noises, dark and obscure woods, stones to stumble upon, dirt in the mouth. Hornwood fell are: Marco Basili guitars/voice, Andrea Basili Drums, (already members of Hastur, Kailash (4), My Talking Pua, VinterFresa and former members of Krom and Germanotta Youth) and Andrea Vacca Bass (former member of Krom, Kailash (4)).
