Horresque have put Sound of Katyn online, the third piece out of Chasms Pt. III, The Dread, Unveiled, which arrives on 8 January with no label behind it.
The record closes a trilogy the band began with Chasms Pt. I, Avarice and Retribution in 2020 and continued with Chasms Pt. II, The Devouring Exorbitance in 2024. Seven songs this time, opening on They Came to Kill and closing on Not Our War, with Behind the Door and They Came to Kill already out as singles earlier this year.
The titles say what the band has been writing about since it formed in 2015, and Metal Archives files its subject matter as human atrocities without needing a longer word for it. Sound of Katyn takes the name of the forest where the Soviet secret police shot thousands of Polish officers in 1940; the song after it is called Nanking.
The band comes from Mainz by way of Limburg, has had the same two guitarists and the same singer since the start, and worked with Supreme Chaos Records on the second part. This one they are releasing themselves.
