One-man project bands aren't any new phenomenon these days anymore. Here's one more to the same pile: Aornos from Hungary, being run by a guy named Algras, handles every instrument in his own creation.

The Great Scorn is the fourth full-length studio album by this one-man band and it sounds like there's a whole band backing him up on it. Aornos' Black Metal is atmospheric, ominous and played fast, at times almost too blindingly fast, and I am reminded of Norwegian Emperor's past works. Sometimes all it takes to create a decent piece of music is enough sheer talent and determination to make things happen for yourself. You don't necessarily need other people's input for all that at all. It's definitely worth checking out if professionally executed, atmospheric and well-produced Black Metal doesn't make you cut your wrists wide open (for Satan, The Master).
