ClassyMusicSnob Horrendous sticks out as a classy fusion of early 90s death metal fused with late 90s melodeath and just a touch of prog. I can hear Death, Bolt Thrower, Arghoslent, and In Flames with just a thimble full of Opeth. Horrendous makes death metal thats familiar yet forging their own unique path ahead. On top of the great musjc, their albums always have equally as great album art. 4/5 Favorite track: Devotion (Blood for Ink).

solarcoreg It's so different than other death metal sounds. The vocals are very distinct and took me a bit to get used to but I listen to this album frequently and it makes my ears happy.

Jackson Arbogast Great progressive death metal, especially since it has a great balance between the raw aggression of some classic death metal with the progressive playing and song structures. Also, fretless bass reminding me of one of my favorite tech-death records of all time: Death's Individual Thought Patterns!

Other Favorite Tracks: Soothsayer, The Idolator, Obolus Favorite track: Golgothan Tongues.

about

HORRENDOUS explode out of the underground with their incredible new album 'Idol'. Drawing inspiration from both personal and national crises, 'Idol's' music is a methodical and unapologetic take on dynamic, progressive death metal. The highly anticipated new album sees HORRENDOUS at the highest echelon of their musical creativity to date. Thematically, the ambitious new album is an exploration of defeat, of the gods we build in our minds to escape the responsibility of action and change as we relinquish our agency. The music in 'Idol' mimics this act of deity building, with sprawling compositions that are imposing in scope and mirror the great turmoil of our times. Tracks such as "Soothsayer", "Golgothan Tongues" and the monumental "Obolus" position the band in a league of their own, as one of the death metal's leading new entities.
