Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 43: Alex, Damian, Jamie & Matt of Horrendous (Pennsylvania, USA)

In this episode we speak to not just one or two but four bandmembers - Alex, Damian, Jamie and Matt - about how they collectively write lyrics for progressive death metal project, Horrendous. Although their name might conjure the images of blood and gore that death metal is most known for, the band's lyricism could equally be described as romantic and erudite. Using language more akin to poetry and literature than your favourite American slasher, Horrendous' lyrics not only challenge worn-out images of the dunderheaded metalhead, but embody what the band considers to be metal's quintessential quality. That is, its theatrical and larger-than-life character.
