VORNA picture
Vorna is a melodic black/folk metal band from Tampere, Finland. The band's music have various influences from black metal to folk and rock. Lyrics are written in Finnish and often deal with themes like nature, myths and struggles of mind or emotions."

The band was formed in the autumn 2008 and quite soon afterwards it was named after a Finnish folklore character; Vorna. Full line-up was reached in 2009 and it has remained the same ever since.

During these five years Vorna has mostly stayed out of the spotlight and has persistently built its own style and sound. Now, after a few gigs and demos, Vorna introduces itself with the debut album Ajastaika which combines their points of interest which have been leading their journey so far: stories characterized by myths and strong emotions that are accompanied with melodic yet aggressive metal music through the four seasons of northern nature.

This Finnish band got together five years ago, and the line-up has stayed the same since 2009. Apparently they are named after a Finnish folklore character, which is interesting as it is when the guys bring folk elements into what they are doing that they are at their most intriguing. Their version of black metal isn’t as atmospheric and bleak as many, as it brings quite a lot of melody with it, but it is when they move away from a set style and instead use different instruments and timings that the listener starts to pay close attention. They utilise different instruments to great effect at these times, with an accordion being particularly effective, but even switching to acoustic guitar and using piano has a real impact. Vesa’s vocals are mostly very low growls and often are mixed so that they are very similar to the guitars in terms of impact, which means that they come through more as another instrument instead of someone singing. Mind you, all of the lyrics are in their native tongue so I wouldn’t be able to understand them anyways.

I am not sure what the path is that lies before them if they move more into pure BM, but if they decide to go further into the folk metal arena then these guys could make a big impact as there is something quite special going on there. A solid album, without being spectacular, it will be interesting to see what happens in the future. www.inverse.fi
