It’s crazy to think that it’s now been over a decade since Horrendous first came onto the scene with The Chills; it was 2014’s Ecdysis, the record that saw them first advance from humble OSDM-esque beginnings towards something a bit more peculiar and unique, that introduced me to the group, but the band that were once the hot new thing in death metal have now grown into seasoned veterans, and Ontological Mysterium is a solid reflection of that maturation.

A lot of death metal is either ultra-polished technical wankery or derivative old-school worship. And then there's Horrendous, which is a bit of both but without the downsides.

Horrendous are a busy band. It was just last year when they surprised us with their second album Ecdysis, which caused quite some impact on the death metal scene and I still keep it in mind as my favorite album of 2014. Now a year has passed, and out of nothing, the US-Americans announced that their third album is set for a release date before the end of 2015. Anareta is its name and we shall see if it can hold up to its predecessor.
