Horrendous - Idol

I gave this a few listens years ago but it didn't click back then; revisiting it now and it's better than I remember. Check this out if you like progressive death metal.

These guys also have fucking amazing cover art:

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I should thank you for asking me this.  The last 3 years have been a big blur and I have barely listened to a single album in that time after being a daily listener for almost as long as I've been alive.  I never really got around to giving their new stuff a proper listen and I did last night.

When you compare their recent output to other bands that have tried to recapture past glories after a very long break I think they've done amazingly well.

If I put on my ratings hat I would give the EP around 80-85% ...............very good without being great.

But the studio album State of Deception is fantastic for an old Conception fan (if you can take the slightly lighter sound overall).........plenty of variety/complexity but also the shorter bangers like No Rewind which is killer......with further listening it may well rate as their most consistent album.  If you include Monument In Time (from the deluxe version which I may well get) then I'd be rating it around 90%.   It's a shame that the first real song on the album (Of Raven and Pigs) is by far the worst track and something I would skip.  I haven't paid any attention to the lyrics or concept (if there is one) but perhaps that track serves a purpose in that regard.  But yeah - dump that track and replace it with Monument In Time and I'd give the album 92%.  :metal   So nice to hear an album these days with relatively clear sonics too rather than a muddy wall of bass/guitar/keys that are almost indistinguishable

Their art is always killer too



Very well-put…I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better comeback. They’ve managed to sound like “Conception” without simply retreading the old stuff. And I agree on the production. At first I thought the guitar could use a little more bite, but now I think it’s just right.

I know they are releasing the deluxe version…I hope that puts them back on the map. I REALLY hope there are more albums to come…

The CDs are rare and pricey. I would like to get lossless WAV ripps of them.

Yes. The VHS was out long before the CD was released. I also like the Last In Line VHS which was also filmed in Philly.
