Additional notes
Formerly known as "Shadowed".
"Horna" is Finnish for "abyss" or "hell"; it was chosen because, to Shatraug, it sounded harsh and powerful.
Also appeared on the "Tormenting Legends" compilation LP (500 copies, Blut & Eisen Productions, 2003) with the track "Kauhun Siivet".
Shatraug is the owner of Grievantee Productions.
