Italian Technical Death Metal force HIDEOUS DIVINITY release a drum playthrough video for the track “Anamorphia Atto III” taken off of their current album “SIMULACRUM”, which got released in 2019. Check out the video HERE
With a strong passion for drums since the early childhood, Giulio Galati started taking drum lessons at the age of 10 with Armando Bertozzi, Stefano Rossini, Daniele Pomo (St. Louis College of Music), Lucrezio De Seta, Ettore Fioravanti (Santa Cecilia Conservatory of Music) and Giampaolo Rao.
The educational path led him through different music styles like jazz, Latin, fusion, and rock. Thanks to the influence of all these styles and the variety of music listened to, he evolved to metal drumming and to the use of the double pedal by developing a personal language that attempts to melt together everything he has been and continues to be exposed to.
Huge inspirations were and still are Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Kiko Freitas, Gavin Harrison, Mike Portnoy, George Kollias, Derek Roddy, and Thomas Haake.

Italian Technical Death Metal force HIDEOUS DIVINITY release a bass playthrough video for the track “Deleuzean Centuries”, taken off of their current album “SIMULACRUM”, which got released in 2019. Check out the video here:
Stefano Franceschini comments: “’Deleuzean Centuries’ is the perfect trait d’union track between ‘Adveniens’ and ‘Simulacrum’ – straightforward, indirectly quoting some rhythmic shapes that were fairly recurring in our previous album, especially the very first section of the song; I would refer to it as the intro riff, before the second, main riff kicks in. Bass-wise I particularly like the arpeggio section (the 3/4 + 6/4 triplet one) which repeats 4 times, and the slap chops I do toward the end of the song. It’s probably one of my top 3 tracks from our last album, and a perfect opener for a show.”
Italian death metal frontrunners HIDEOUS DIVINITY are getting back to work! After being forced to lay low for a while during the Corona virus induced lock-down, they went right back to their rehearsal space to record a brutal live version for the song “Bent Until Fracture” taken from their most recent album, “Simulacrum”, which was released in November 2019 on Century Media Records.
The band states: “It sure feels great to be back at our rehearsal space. Although some adjustments were required. The Covid b**ch is still out there, we’re optimistic but not careless. That’s why you’ll see Enrico H singing alone in our new video: extreme metal singing may set a new record for droplet travel distance… Add that to the fact Enrico is a professional doctor who visits patients on a daily basis, and you’ll have the full picture. Join us during our “socially responsible” rehearsal time and PLEASE, stay safe and alert. Do not forget this is not over yet. #growlresponsibly !“
