In celebration of the upcoming release of Horrified’s Of Despair LP release on Infernal Devastation Records (May 2), Dead Rhetoric is pleased to give you a taste of what the band has to offer with “Dreamer of Ages.” Taking the old school death metal route, Horrified use ’90s death metal with sadistic glee and surprising melodies. The beginning to the track brings the expected mid-tempo brutality and tosses out a real zinger of a solo. But later on in the track, the pace slows and the melodies begin to blossom. “Raise your fist” melodies reign at around the 3-minute mark and bring the track eventually to a close on a melodic, yet fevered note. Check out the stream below, and if you desire more, pre-orders are currently available HERE or by visiting the Bandcamp widget below.
Says the label: In 2014 the band recorded their debut full length album Descent Into Putridity through the months of February to April. During this time the band caught the attention of Memento Mori records, securing a deal for the album to be released via the label in October 2014. Descent Into Putridity, only the band’s debut album. Secured a vast amount of positive press with its set of passionate and well crafted songs of traditional death metal. From the start of 2015, Horrified have further cemented their reputation as a serious name in the underground with intense live performances up and down the UK and on an international scale.
