Horrendous biography
Founded in Philadelphia, USA in 2009

HORRENDOUS were founded in 2009 by guitarist/vocalist Damian Herring, drummer Jamie Knox, guitarist/vocalist Matt Knox and bassist Alex Kulick. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the band was signed to Dark Descent records and set out recreating the classic old-school death metal sound as pioneered by OBITUARY and DEATH.
After the death metal nostalgia of the debut, the later albums increasingly embraced progressive influences from acts such as VOIVOD, ATHEIST, GORGUTS and CYNIC. In 2018 they released their widely acclaimed fourth album 'Idol' on Seasons of Mist.

Review by Gallifrey

Listening diary 5th April, 2022: Horrendous - Idol (progressive death metal, 2018)

I don't really like death metal much, honestly. So the fact that I kind of sort of maybe enjoy this is probably an achievement in itself. This new wave of death metal actually has some interest to me because of its consistent prog influence, more accessible production and less reliance on repetitive chug-offs. I can definitely tell why this is considered great for its genre, and there are even some Opethian bursts of melody that break the heavy monotone. But at the end of the day, it's death metal, with the same riffs, vocals and themes that do absolutely nothing for me on an emotional level. Maybe someday I'll understand.

5.3 (2nd listen)
