Neon Leviathan
Horrendous
Man-machine Paralyzed By eyes that gleam In vicious luminosity Glint of chrome Formaldehyde And ozone Bio-transformation Slip the needle in Narcotic hush to calm your trepidations The senses awash In vaporous information We’ll pluck out your eyes To bring new vision Divine Consciousness liquified Extracted with precision A small price To pay To end The pain Of your condition Let it begin: Scalpel pirouettes In deft abominations Red landscapes Carved with reverence To mark your pilgrimage To the holy land of the post-human Voyager Catatonic voyeur Inept omniscience Another crippled god In phantom creation And when you’ve reached the end You’ll bear witness To the new leviathan Thriving in the void of consciousness The liminal spaces Between the real and the imagined Sublime, lay down your mind Immanentize the new aeon

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.
