Hunts & Wars is another great release from Christopher Walton. The first twelve minutes are "Reaching for the Stars We Blind the Sky" which after about five minutes introduces some strong percussion and drumming adding a new dimension to previous drone tracks. This makes for an interesting listen - at some points itfelt like Walton was going to introduce a massive drum solo. The track eventually filters out into a distorted drone. Hilnaric takes us outdoors with some birdsong looming into darker ambience. This track sounds different from previous TenHornedBeast compositions.


"Hunts & Wars" has moved on from previous recordings and is sounding more atmospheric bordering on some dark ambient themes. The nineteen minute outro, that is the title track, leaves me feeling I have listened to an album that feels more mature than previous work, although I really enjoy listening to albums like "My Horns Are a Flame to Draw down the Truth" and "The Sacred Truth".
