A mere 14 months after the successful and highly acclaimed "Feldpost" album, one-man project HORN returns with the 8th studio album. "Turm am Hang" was inspired by the German folk song "Es ist ein Schnitter" (17th century), the lansquenets, wars of the past, tribalism and the spirit of masculinity. Stylistically, the songs seamlessly blend in with the Feldpost material, with clean and harsh vocals taking turns in conveying the eight mid-tempo songs solely performed in German. A cover of WHEN BITTER SPRING SLEEPS' epic masterpiece "The sky has not always been this way" rounds off the album off in a perfect way.
