Horrendous - Idol (2018) Full Album 

Kind of weird for people to be saying they like this, but not metal in general. It's pretty extreme to the point that if you can get into this, you should theoretically be able to get into others. Every rising metal fan needs a gateway band or two to open their eyes to everything the genre has to offer.

HOLY FUCK!

Thumbs up of you're giving this a re-listen because you're seeing them live with Tomb Mold (one of the most killer tours of 2024.)

I can hear some of Chuck Shuldiner's unfinished ideas coming to full fruition on this album; especially on 'Golgothan Tongues.' A glorious achievement by this band.

Even a broken clock like Fantano can get it right. Horrendous is the total package.

Love when people like Anthony Fantano help expose some more underground heavy metal bands for the fanbase to bring it up to some more prominence. I'm a huge metalhead so if anyone has any questions that came from that video but aren't usually into this type of music hit me up! :)

I bought that album, I'm totally addicted to it, one of my all-time favorite records. Amazingly sick and beautiful. A personnal top-five of the decade. Philosopher Wittgenstein talked about the indicible, the mystic... Yeah, my reactions to this album are at this level. Venez à Montréal !

WHY HAS NOBODY SHOWN THIS TO ME UNTIL NOW?? THOSE VOCALS ARE SO FUCKING SICK AND THE BASS WTF IS THIS. ITS LIKE HEARING DEATH FOR THE FIRST TIME BUT WITH A WHOLE NEW FRESH TAKE ON WHAT DEATH SOUNDED LIKE

loving the old school vibes with the recording style and distant vocals.

I don't know who melon is but this is a great album.

Slowly Horrendous begins to play alone in his own league, incredible progress and creativity.Amazing album.

That bass gives me some classical tech death vibes while still bringing something new tothe table. Also overall great album. I'd almost callthis blackened tech death

This album really delivers. I've already heard Soothsayer, Idolater and Devotion like 100 times since they were singles, but the deep cuts in here are just as killer. The bass work is at a new level on this album and the riffs are just madness.

Horrendous artwork has very strong Beksinski vibes, I absolutely love it

Vocals definitely took some time to grow on me, but holy shit is this an amazing album.

This is one of the most beautiful death metal albums I've ever heard.

A hyperfocused platter of chaos, Horrendous deliver their tightest and most mature set of destruction to date, quickly ascending into the pantheon of current death metal legends.

This is so much better than its predecessors

I always loved Death Metal - this album just made me fully realize it. Been listening to this non-stop for over two years already..

I have no words. This is one of the best records I've heard this year. Everything is almost perfect.

Great work, boys. Album rips.

Just jaw-dropping. They’ve outdone themselves. Faster, heavier, crisper, more complex than even Anareta. I am gobsmacked.

Guess I'm a metal fan now, thanks melon?

Devotion (Blood for Ink) slaps super hard. I love the outro.

They have the best album finishers.

feels good to hear some fret less base back in death metal

melon gave this a 9, so it is factually a good album

Nobody else sounds like these guys. Good shit!!

Just discovered. Already in love.

Probps for Not having the vocals louder than anything else & setting them back slightly in the mix. Really lets the music work its magic. all sounds good

Simply amazing!

This my album for decades

Great release.

Now this is a killer release!

Piece of art. Masterful album by many aspects.

Guys, this album is a masterpiece. I got electrified by Anareta, but this is next level. Chuck Schuldiner would be proud. I hope that your band isn't over because of all the Covid measures. Get back to us with a new album someday, will you?!

Amazing album. Even more amazing artwork

cant stop listening

Devotion (Blood for Ink) may be my favourite song from 2018. Still listening to this.

This is next level muh dudes. Album absolutely shreds 🤘🏻🤘🏻

so stoked with this, sick album

Emptiness Ensconce me In a bible black sigh Absorb my tribute My abject need Robed in flesh Assuage my malaise, my lust to create With displays of teeth, devour me To extract my being I trade blood for ink Vivisection complete Commit me to memory I'll be a frail utterance cutting deep Bones eroded, shaped into effigy Make me a siren's song Make me a monument to suffering Face to the pavement Wrest me free Will you place me upon the altar? A thirst for permanence? An ego to sate? Envy's firm grasp? Commit me to memory Commit me Amongst settled dust I breathe aromas of midnight Sense the marrow's gentle pulse I'm free Then a tickling in the throat An ache wells from within Vessels Constrict I'm in the grip of angst again Free me

Grandios Intoniert, Hammer Album. Great Work,

This is a culmination of their efforts. Great deep music soundtrack of modern society. Influences from Atheist & At the Gates here!

Exquisite. I think this is still number 1 for me.

Oooh, had no idea this was coming out. Feckin love this band.

If you have to put ads between the listening, at least do not put them in the middle of the songs.

1- ...prescient 2- soothsaying 3- the billy idolater 4- golgothan tongue piercing 5- non-divine anhedonia 6- devoted (brother blood for ink) 7- threnodies 8- obolust

What a masterpiece. So far this has become together with Voivod's The Wake and Liquid Anatomy an extremely strong candidate to AOTY

Just Discovered this, It is amazing!

Good stuff. Vocal reminds me Patrick Mameli from Pestilence.

I actually hear a lot of Atheist influence, especially in Soothsayer.

Definitely going in my top ten list!

Much respect, you guys. I love this.

My personal album of the year.

this got me to like death metal

I passed these over because I was thinking, cheesy name, cheesy music. How wrong I was. This is top tier stuff, and that bass? *chefs kiss*

cool. now must purchase album

The drums sound splendid...

missed this last year somehow. Really good

The vocals remind me Patrick mameli from Pestilence hehe

Masterpiece

this album is dripping with death influences i love it

Brilliant!

This would be a sick soundtrack for a doom game.

another fantastic album from these guys. always improving their sound.

Threnody is fucking gorgeous. I love their instrumentals like this and Vermillion. This band just crushes.

This sounds like it's straight out of 1992. Really good work here. Gonna be back to listen to this a lot.

amazing !!!!!

This is one of my fav modern metal bands. The vocals are just horrendous, they give me this unsettling nervous feeling like im in some cosmic horror nightmare, probably my fav newer extreme vocalist, sounds very fresh. Love the guitar work as well. Probably Horrendous, Vektor, Blood Incantation and Inter Arma are my 4 shiny stars of the modern era of mediocrity.

Highly underrated

Progressive Death metal pushing the genre to a better future Cherrs from Minneapolis

Evil-sounding and visceral. Excellent from beginning to end.

The vocals are top tier

This is so good!

This is the best old school Death Metal album of 2018. I don't care what we get next, this is it

This shit is fucking awesome

Shit congrats on a good album. Damn. It's unique hard and, sounds like notes of new stuff, 90s stuff like speed metal and hints of old Mastodon and dystopia. It's hard for me to get into alot of metal these days cause they all sound nearly the same. A+++

My god, legends already! Mighty Horrendous!

That haunting deep backing vocals in Obolus gives me freakin' chills. Never felt that way in any death metal record.

Can hear Death Obituary Carcass Napalm Death Cynic and some fusión stuff but they create an original sound.

Fantastic album! Loved every bit!

Bruuutaaal!!!! 🔥

Also this album kicks ass

YASSSSSSSS FINALLY

A very interesting band!!!

sweet hot jesus what a record

the bandcamp version is really quiet, this is better, was starting to think thats just how it was recorded

Very good album. Like it! Up there with Be’lakor’s Vessels.

EL MEJOR DE ELLOS PARA MI, QUE GRANDE EH...

Fckn brillant new album. 🔥✌

This band has the right stuff. Hail the Heavy!!

every new album of horrendous has been better, but in this one there is a lot of concern for the technical detail; his best work ... greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

Deatheist all the way but with a refreshing mindset. I'll take one to go, thanks very much.

Outstanding record 9.5/10

So....GOOD!

Saw them perform in L.A they were so sick

Oof that bass tone🤘

I'm feeling a strong 2 on this one
