Hideous Divinity

Italian/Norwegian metallers Hideous Divinity deliver death metal that is both crushing and old-school, rooted in both technical and blackened death. Initiated in 2006 by Hour of Penance co-founder Enrico Schettino, the band issued their debut album, the socio-political/sci-fi epic Obeisance Rising, on Unique Leader in 2012. Subsequent efforts like Adveniens (2017), Simulacrum (2019), and the EP LV-426 (2021) continued to look to classic science fiction and horror films for inspiration, and push against the boundaries of extreme metal. Founded in 2006 by guitarist Enrico Schettino, Hideous Divinity searched for a stable lineup early on. By 2010 they were operating at full capacity and hitting the festival circuit. They signed to Unique Leader Records shortly thereafter and released their searing debut album, Obeisance Rising. Inspired by director John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic They Live, the band put forth an uncompromising sonic assault that evoked names like Nile, Hate, and Immolation. Based around Werner Herzog's gritty 1987 film of the same name, 2014's Cobra Verde ramped up the intensity, as did 2017's ambitious concept LP Adveniens. The group inked a deal with Century Media ahead of the arrival of their fourth full-length effort, 2019's unrelenting Simulacrum. Two years later they returned with the EP LV-426, which was inspired by the Alien franchise.
