HORNS, the brainchild of acclaimed pianist and composer Simon Fache will release their new self-titled album HORNS on December 1st 2021.
An artful marriage of jazz and metal, the album is an avant-garde celebration of two powerful genres. Featuring original compositions and covers of SINATRA, FAITH NO MORE, JUDAS PRIEST or KIM WILDE, Horns is a dynamic album.
Dark, dramatic, and theatrical, the album dives straight into the thrilling combination of classical jazz and hard hitting metal. The music explores fascinating amalgamation of major and minor tonalities as numerous styles and sounds collide. From bright brass, to smooth bass and harsh distortion - contrapuntal melodies and explosive textures erupt in all directions. "Typical Teenagers" boasts immense brass instrumentation and an alluring side to HORNS' sound emerges through the smooth bass and soaring clean vocals. All of which comes crashing down with the harsh vocals and deliciously distorted guitar tones. Running through the original tracks is a narrative of young rockers encountering temptation and harsh realities as they seek to reach fame. Interspersed covers, reimagined in HORNS' unique style adds to the overall journey of the album. "Scream Scream Scream" - a glorious cover of "Sing Sing Sing" by LOUIS PRIMA, is an incredible track that really shows how the distinctive genres complement each other.
HORNS leaves no musical ingredient off limits. Beautifully crafted harmonies flow throughout the instrumentation and vocal parts, while heavy melodic elements and shredding leads throw a thunderous energy into the mix. Delving into the fantastical chaos of Horns is an experience not be missed.

Special thanks to all those who believed in this crazy project and who were actievly involved into it.
Holy year !!! We are legal adults now !!!
We have the right to get drunk in every bar
No need to hide we are now free
Our fucking parents are liberated from their duty
Fired up to become the kings of the night
Now allowed to go back home after midnight
Beware !!!
Don't dare to stare at us !!!
Warriors of steel have escaped from their prison
Vengeance is ours
We worked hard to sharpen the blades
We'll get our first gig
Leitmotiv is to subjugate
Inferno's boss we'll get fucking blown away
Sure he'll get us a deal with his cousin's record company
Beware !!!
Don't dare to stare at us !!!
Warriors of steel have escaped from their prison
Vengeance is ours
We worked hard to sharpen the blades
We'll get our first gig
'Leitmotiv is to subjugate
We're wearing our nicest studded bangles
Our coolest leather coats will shine tonight more than the sun
The negociation will be quickly done he won't resist
His soul will be broken by the power of our mighty riffs
Beware !!!
Don't dare to stare at us !!!
Vengeance is ours
We worked hard to sharpen the blades
We'll get our first gig
Leitmotiv is to subjugate
