Hideous Divinity er et italiensk death metal band med ophav i Rom. Siden starten i 2007 har gruppen gennemgået en række udskiftninger og har nu et enkelt tilbageværende originalt medlem. Hideous Divinity har dog aldrig stået stærkere og har i 2021 udgivet de to EP’er ’LV-426’ og ’Sinful Star Necrolatry’, hvoraf sidstnævnte er en genudgivelse af bandets oprindelige demo fra 2007. De har tidligere udgivet fire album, senest ’Simulacrum’ i 2019, alle med vokal af Enrico Di Lorenzo, der udover musiker er doktor i audiologi og foniatri, hvilket han anvender til at levere formidable, tekniske vokalpræstationer.
Hideous Divinity er et yderst aktivt liveband og har spillet koncerter over hele verden med navne som Vader, Malevolent Creation, Aborted, Cryptopsy og Cattle Decapitation. De har optrådt flere gange i Danmark og vender tilbage hele tre gange i 2022; i København med henholdsvis Aborted og Atheist samt på Raise Your Horns. Hideous Divinity er ikke bange for at udfordre lytteren og tage genren i nye retninger, hvilket de viser med fortolkninger af sange fra Coheed and Cambria samt Machine Head og Mayhem. Stilen er dog altid nådesløst brutal, teknisk og cinematisk death metal, der vil appellere til fans af navne som Hour of Penance, Origin og Decrepit Birth.
