Opening with the gentle lull of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and slowly building into a magnificently emotive melding of shrieked vocals and tremolo picked guitars, So Hideous do not hide their influences nor desired direction on this album. Among the quite wide array of listed tags on the group's bandcamp page, the two that hold the most merit seem to be "orchestral" and "black metal". Now I prefer the term orchestral to symphonic in this case for a number of reasons, mostly because the band holds very little in the way of similarity to the artists at the forefront of symphonic black metal, but rather pave their own path.

Written by Guest on 13.10.2015 at 19:43 Glad someone else shares my summation of the sound. Still not blown away, but I quite enjoyed this album. Making it one big composition spaces it from its peers as well.

Beautiful, I found the mix with the classic-styled melodies pretty nice.

Absolutely beautiful. If I heard this live with a real orchestra I would probably cry a little.

Some nice melodies here and there, but these guys are like the Mahler of metal, just unending crescendos. Very exhausting.

Yeah there's some good stuff going on here. Not perfect but some really grandiose climaxes going on here - really dig the end of The Keepsake

Written by Guest on 06.05.2016 at 21:34 Look at that! I knew we could agree on influences! *hugs* Jokes aside, yeah... It's definitely not the calmer post-rock but more the crescendo-filled and wall-of-sound post-rock like Mono does.
