Terzij De Horde make their way to Cork with support from God Alone and Partholon in Dali, Cork

Terzij de Horde stands as a beacon of boundary-pushing black metal and hardcore intensity. Since their inception in 2009 the band has consistently built their reputation on a combination of complex, furious and dynamic songs and raging, emotional live shows.

Rather than keeping audiences at a cold distance, Terzij de Horde forcefully pulls them close. The band’s music is unquestionably black metal - but their energy and attitude is closer to grind, hardcore punk and the extreme edges of screamo. Their performances are marked by an intensity that is both palpable and infectious, inviting the audience into a shared space of catharsis and reflection.

“..we see Terzij de Horde carefully corralling harmony and discordance in a way which mirrors their thoughts thematically. ‘Self’ in itself is poetic; be it the lyrics, the performance, the overall passion, it is clear that Terzij de Horde will continue to be a force in music” Jon Rosenthal - Invisible Oranges

Musically, Terzij de Horde combines complex black metal compositions with doom metal, post metal and screamo elements, to create music that is a raging fire. The band draws energy and inspiration from the most progressive black metal (anything from Yellow Eyes and Krallice to Emperor), but also from the height of hardcore punk intensity (Integrity, Converge, Frail Body) and wide-ranging influences such as Neurosis and Ulcerate.

“The longer you are immersed in the decibels, the further you are dragged along into the depths, the more you are convinced that you are watching the best band of the Netherlands playing here.” OOR
