Listening diary 5th April, 2022: Horrendous - Idol (progressive death metal, 2018)

I don't really like death metal much, honestly. So the fact that I kind of sort of maybe enjoy this is probably an achievement in itself. This new wave of death metal actually has some interest to me because of its consistent prog influence, more accessible production and less reliance on repetitive chug-offs. I can definitely tell why this is considered great for its genre, and there are even some Opethian bursts of melody that break the heavy monotone. But at the end of the day, it's death metal, with the same riffs, vocals and themes that do absolutely nothing for me on an emotional level. Maybe someday I'll understand.

5.3 (2nd listen)
