It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

New Horrendous album released today!

I'm really enjoying this one, definitely thinking it's a solid follow up to Idol!

What's everyone else thinking of this one?

Go for it, it's a wild ride! If you do check it out, I'd love to hear some more thoughts on it!

I gave it a couple listen, and it seems like a very solid release. No real surprise, they deliver as usual, with the right mix of brutality and melody. That being said, I still feels like it's missing the more catchy parts that I loved in Idol or Anareta, but that's probably just a matter of more listening :).

I can definitely agree with that, thanks for sharing! It feels like the intent this time around feels more like an attempt to cram more weird experimental and varied choices into the records runtime possibly at the cost of more memorable melodies and repeated parts to catch on to. I can see how far that idea goes for you would likely boil down to individual preference. However I will say it's only grown on me on repeat listens and personally I'll gladly trade some catchiness for whatever Exeg(en)esis is! 😅
