The Blaze

Horrendous

O lucent pariah Dweller in the muted depths Of calcified hearts Grant me wisdom archaic And a resolve unrepentant, blasphemous To soar beyond the pale A phoenix apostate For I cannot return I will never return... I’ve seen the blaze On blood red nights And I’ve wept at its’ wane Dimming like a dream each dawn

With 'Ontological Mysterium', HORRENDOUS have built a towering death-metal thrill ride.

The sheer size and scope of their new album is massive. Riffs twist and turn through labyrinthine arrangements, busting out into soaring melodic leads. 'Ontological Mysterium' captures the true spirit of the halcyon days of extreme metal.

It sounds timeless but marks a bold step forward for this rising band.

For fans of (mid-period) DEATH, (early) ATHEIST, CORONER, SADUS, MARTYR.
