Preterition Hymn

Horrendous

The tides rise again Carry me close to see the skin But these arms cannot mend the vision The waters fall trembling Cast out beneath the heavenly tree And still we dream The hand of god will lift Weary Tantalus To fruits that gleam To cease suffering Rise, Tantalus Unfurl your chains Arise in flame, Enochian I’m robed in flame, Enochian Free from this dream, Enochian Unfurl your wings

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.
