Review:

Written by: Eric V. [The Metal Observer]
Maybe I’m just missing out, but I believe HORRID is the first Italian Death Metal band that I’ve heard. Not that it really makes any difference, as HORRID don’t exactly sound Italian (at least I don’t think so), but more a mix of the older varieties of Swedish and American Death Metal. But again, I’m not exactly well versed in brutal Death Metal, so I could be off base here.

What I do hear on HORRID’s "Rising From The Hidden Spheres" is competent and brutal music, with loads of groove and a MORBID ANGEL meets UNLEASHED sense of melody. The tempo of the album ranges from mid-paced to almost thrashy, but rarely goes into lightning quick blasts, which helps to give the album that old-school feel. The riffs and leads are never mind blowing, but are tasty nonetheless. HORRID’s nearly constant use of guitar leads throughout every song is a definite plus, acting as a counter balance to the brutal rhythm section. The vocals cover a range of aggressive styles, from gutteral growls to black-ish whispers to throaty yells, occassionally making use of double tracking to give an echo effect.

Overall, "Rising From The Hidden Spheres" is a pretty solid Death Metal release that does not shy away from wearing its influences on its proverbial sleeve. If you’re looking for solid, brutal yet melodic Death Metal and aren’t a stickler for originallity, "Rising From The Hidden Spheres" might be for you.
