Italian death
Metal juggernauts,
Hideous Divinity, are pleased to unveil the title track of their forthcoming crushing new full-length, Cobre Verde,
Fitting tagged "an uber-brutal, churning platter of tech-y death metal" by Decibel Magazine, Cobre Verde is scheduled to drop via Unique Leader Records.
Based around Werner Herzog's 1987 film of the same name,
Cobra Verde was recorded at 16th Cellar Studios (
Hour Of Penance,
Fleshgod Apocalypse,
Vomit The Soul) and supplies
Nine tracks of
Hate, discontent and unrelenting audio
Brutality including a guest vocal appearances by Nile's Dallas Toler-Wade on "The Alonest Of The Alone" and a searing rendition of Ripping Corpse's "The Last And Only Son."
Elaborates band leader/Hour Of
Penance founder Enrico Schettino: "Sometimes a riff takes
Ages to reveal itself, some other times you're a lucky
Bastard and the whole song comes out, like magic. 'Cobra Verde' belongs to the second category. Title-tracks are not ordinary songs; when you
Decide there'll be a title track, you accept the challenge of creating, in the space of a few minutes, something that would represent the
Mood of an entire album. As for 'Cobra Verde,' it had to be something
Beyond death metal. For this exact reason it's undeniable I was highly influenced by the latest
Ulcerate and Gorguts. It was time to
Push the envelope for
Hideous Divinity and that was the aim of the song. The whole composition wavers between
Storm and calm,
Nuclear Rage assaults and
Tormented doom litanies. The
Twisted, samba-like rhythm pattern sees the
Rebirth of cruel kings and madmen, slave prayers and curses through
Six minutes of song. Atonal arpeggios create that feeling of
Rage ready to explode and to be
Drowned In Solitude afterwards. We are alone on this world, so huge yet so narrow, and our
Thirst is condemned never to be quenched. Like the spirit of Manoel, the white devil condemned to solitude, the ghost that will never see the snow."
Brutality awaits. Check out "Cobre Verda" now playing at GunShyAssassin

Born between Italy and Norway in late 2006 as a side project of Hour Of Penance founder Enrico Schettino, HIDEOUS DIVINITY immediately earned underground accolades thanks to their mauling 2007 Sinful Star Necrolatry two-track demo. It wasn't until 2010 however that the band, with their first stable lineup, would perform live alongside longstanding comrades, Insision. In the interim, new songs were composed with their European death/black influences giving way to a more mindful, complex yet straight-in-your-face death metal assault in the vein Nile, Immolation and Hate: the embryo of their first full-length release. Following another successful appearance in Scandinavia at the end of April 2012, this time for the prestigious Inferno Festival in Oslo, Norway, a three-album deal with Unique Leader Records was forged. In late July 2011 the band entered 16th Cellar to record their Obeisance Rising debut. The lyrical concept is based on John Carpenter's immortal masterstroke They Live, a dramatically relevant testimony of a dark era that never ended. In 2014
HIDEOUS DIVINITY offers up Cobra Verde, another cinematographic concept album, this time based on Klaus Kinski's and Werner Herzog's masterpiece of the same name. The album sounds even darker and more powerful, both conceptually and musically, than their critically-lauded debut. Brace yourself.
Cobra Verde will be released in the US on October 28th, 2014, the UK on October 27th and the rest of Europe on October 31st. Preorder your copy at
