Hortus Animae hits you hard with their Progressive/Goth Black Metal sound like none I've heard before on the album "Secular Music". Not a style I've listened to before, but enjoyed to hear none the less. HORTUS ANIMAE has a lot of diversity in the songs as "Secular Music" plays through.

"God and His Disgusting Children" was one of my favourite songs on "Secular Music" along with "Aqualung". Some songs on "Secular Music" were too slow for my taste and almost put me to sleep, I guess too calming for me. I want you to be the judge on this one and give Hortus Animae a listen for yourself.
