Horgh (born Reidar Horghagen, 7 May 1971) is a Norwegian drummer, formerly for Norwegian black metal band Immortal from 1996 to 2022 and Swedish death metal band Hypocrisy from 2004 until April 2022.

Career

Horgh joined Immortal in 1996, bringing stability after a series of short-lived drummers. His style incorporates more straightforward metal techniques than his predecessors Abbath and Armagedda, and he has become known for his strong foot technique, displaying the ability to play very fast and maintain precise double bass drum patterns for a long period of time.[citation needed] The liner notes of his first Immortal album, Blizzard Beasts, dedicate the album to him.[citation needed]

In 2004 he joined Hypocrisy,[citation needed] spending over a decade playing with both bands concurrently.

He plays Pearl drums and Paiste cymbals.
