The Horror And The Wild (Album) reviews

Reviews of The Horror And The Wild
Set The Tape, 11th March 2020 The Amazing Devil are modern day bards; they have a sound that could easily be imagined as taking place in a medieval or fantastical court but their lyrics are very modern.

Basic Stuff, 17th April 2020 This is not a review (it’s a love note).

Nerds & Beyond, 5th March 2020 Batey’s ability to go from a soft croon to almost a growl and Hyland’s incredible range go so perfectly together that they practically create magic as they sing.

Belwood Music, 14th May 2020 ''Consciously or not I had my fingers crossed for a record that was equal parts playful and dramatic, something with a traditional folk feel but with a dash of modern dry wit to boot. I thought I was being far too greedy, but The Horror and the Wild is all that and more.''

Belwood Music record of the year, 30th December 2020 It’s an album that reminds me why I started this whole blog in the first place; when you fall head over heels for a record, you just want to sing its praises from the very rooftops and recommend it to every soul willing to listen.

AOTY, 4th October 2020 There is an incredible, vibrant, explosive chemistry throughout the album between these two vocalists, and one cannot help but be sucked into the world they sculpt.

For Folk's Sake, 9th May 2020 The songs constantly dance between fantasy and reality, the two clashing constantly but worked together so well by Batey and Hyland, that it’s easy to overlook.
