Horndal: Raging Metal From Sweden's Rust Belt

Horndal is a small town in rural Sweden, located about 90 miles northwest of Stockholm with a current population numbering about 1000. Horndal, the band, is a sludgy, metallic quartet led by guitarist/vocalist Henrik Levahn and his younger brother, drummer Pontus Levahn. Their 2019 debut
REMAINS and the brand-new
LAKE DRINKER tells the story of their hometown, and what’s happened there over the past few decades. 
(The band will be performing live in Horndal on April 18 —ed.)
Horndal was a hub of the steel industry in Sweden for hundreds of years. The town’s first ironworks opened in 1652. In 1962, a famous economic study cited “the Horndal effect” and analyzed the seemingly mysterious increase in productivity between the 1930s and 1950s without any investment from facility owners. In 1979, though, the steel mill that had employed local workers for generations shut its doors.
