New Horrendous album coming out August 18th.

Image

Title track has been released, which can be heard on their Bandcamp page and on YouTube. Sounds really good and Horrendous haven't lost their mojo after such a long gap.

Is this the Death (band)-worship band? If so, I loved their previous one very much.

My bad. It's not them.

Ecdysis is one of my favorite death metal albums of all time, but none of their other records have really grabbed me. There's some cool stuff in this song, but there's definitely a bit of djent influence which is a bit djarring.

On point. I should catch up with their other ones sometime but this actually sounds kinda startling and fresh. Digging it.

Wasn't as much into this single as I am into their earlier stuff, especially Anareta, but I'm curious to hear what they've been cooking up over the past few years. I'm digging the cover art, too.

same here - though all their albums are at least good, the rest of them really feel shaded by ecdysis. looking forward to this anyway - probably not gonna check out any singles before hearing the full thing

There was something to the slower, pounding moments from Ecdysis they didn't do again - "The Stranger" is an incredibly iconic moment for them. But I think all their last three are pretty equal and if anything they only got tighter and more confident every time.

Maybe I need to listen to it again but I didn't really hear any "djent" in this, the guitars reminded me more of Voivod than anything else.

Love everything they've done and I am looking forward to the full release, super underrated band IMO

Not into the band's previous output to be honest, but goddamn do I love their cover art, this one included. I'll probably give it a fair try solely due to that.

They are definitely new I'll agree but they just kinda play their music it's like they are like the older bands a whole melting pot of influence

I'm assuming you know the difference between rehash and new there's a definite difference

Song is really good. Anareta is lowkey one of my favorite "melodic" death metal albums of the last couple of years (I'm aware it's not a melodeath album, I just mean death metal that explicitly features a more melodic style than most). I really appreciate the way they construct their music and often weave really gorgeous melodies into their songs. Really, really good band.

Also I have no idea how anybody heard djent in this.

Sounds awesome. One of the most consistently great progressive death metal bands and truly pushing boundaries. I've loved everything they've done and this is no exception.

Are you

1) deaf
2) trolling
3) unaware of what "djent" means

Let us know. There is no fourth option.
