NEWS: HIDEOUS DIVINITY Unveils "Cobra Verde" Video

Italian death metal legion, HIDEOUS DIVINITY, is pleased to unveil the official new visual accompaniment to the track "Cobra Verde." The unsettling tune comes by way of the band's full-length of the same name, released in 2014 via Unique Leader Records. Cobre Verde is a concept record based around Werner Herzog's 1987 film of the same name which itself was centered around 1980 novel, The Viceroy of Ouidah, by British author, Bruce Chatwin.

Elaborates HIDEOUS DIVINITY of the clip, "The surrealistic, soaring visions populating Herzog's Cobra Verde haunted our songwriting like a nightmare, and inspired the concept of our second album. When it was time to think about a video clip, we found ourselves in front of a fascinating challenge: How to visually render the atmosphere of an entire epic movie in the space of a song. After watching the work of the young and talented Guilherme Henriques Silva, we knew he was the right person for the job. Filmed between Roma in the evocative location of Tor Caldara, where the mighty Ben Hur was shot and Porto, the video captures the magic and the occult of our African curse made flesh. The title track, with its dramatic mid tempos and pauses, made the rest. Join us, one more time, in the land where there the dead are more alive than the living. Fear no end, fear no spirit!"

Appropriately dubbed, "an uber-brutal, churning platter of tech-y death metal," by Decibel Magazine, Cobra Verde was tracked at 2016th Cellar Studios (Eyeconoclast, Hour Of Penance, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Vomit The Soul) and boasts nine fiery tracks of discontent, revulsion and unrelenting audio deviance. Additionally, the record includes a guest vocal appearances by Nile's Dallas Toler-Wade on "The Alonest Of The Alone" as well as a ravenous rendition of Ripping Corpse's "The Last And Only Son," which Covering The Scene commends for its "Opeth-meets-Maiden absinthe tainted riff," "Death-inspired bass groove," and, "ultra-technical Schuldinerish guitar progression."

HIDEOUS DIVINITY's music starts taking form in January 2007 between Oslo (Enrico, former founding member of HOUR OF PENANCE now living in Norway) and Rome (Synder & Mauro, both members and ex-members of HOUR OF PENANCE and EYECONOCLAST). The aim is to come out with some real, straight-in-your-face unholy death metal: in other words, the only music in the world that deserves to be played.

The two songs featuring the "Sinful Star Necrolatry" were written and arranged by Enrico during 2007 and finally recorded by Enrico, Synder and Mauro in September, 2007 at the 16th Cellar Studios by the sound-engineer and long-time friend Stefano "Saul" Morabito (who also took care of the mixing).

After a long period of silence due to Enrico's relocation in Italy in early 2009 and his subsequent rejoining with HOUR OF PENANCE (from which he will part ways again in fall 2009), the band is finally back on tracks with a new lineup featuring master vocalist Enrico H., Flavio and Fabio respectively shredding bass and guitar, while "Mad Horse" Mizio takes care of keeping tornado beats.

A new song, "Cerebral Code Of Obeisance", sublimates the regained state of health of HIDEOUS DIVINITY that gains a multi albums deal with UNIQUE LEADER and a partecipation to INFERNO FESTIVAL 2011 in Oslo, ready to release their first full-length of their career in spring 2012.

"Obeisance Rising", a concept album based on John Carpenter's masterstroke "They Live" is out, great reviews worldwide, the band parts ways with Flavio, Mizio and Fabio. Giulio Galati on drums, Stefano Franceschini on bass and Antonio Poletti on guitar join what becomes the best HIDEOUS DIVINITY's lineup ever. Get ready to be torn to shred!
