Veterans Horrid are from Italy and play Death Metal, this is their third album.
What we get here is unholy Death Metal powered by the Old-School and capable of conjuring all manner of lost and forgotten riffs.
Horrid are brutal and sinister at the same time. Imagine a band like Incantation messing around with Celtic Frost riffs whilst throwing in the odd lick from Death and Entombed – this is the land that Horrid stalk and they rule here absolutely.
Cavernous, guttural vocals invoke dark blasphemies while the Metal flares up around them. Horrid create feelings of unforgiving blackness and bleak rituals.
Awakening in a crypt, chained and bound; you are roughly manhandled onto a slab of shaped granite, your captors uncaring of your discomfort or the marks they are leaving. Masked acolytes surround you, the glint of a blade…
How Horrid.
Occult Death Metal played by true devotees.
