DeBaser's lone review praises So Hideous's 2014 first LP Last Poem/First Light for its hybrid of post-black metal, post-hardcore and screamo. The record is noted for orchestral crescendos and theatrical, emotionally charged songwriting. Review recommends concentrated, loud headphone listening; it's intense and grows with repeated plays.
