|  | This new album from the Dutch band Hatred is available for quite a while know but apparently the postal service isn’t what it used to be, so it reached my desk just recently.
But, better late then never.
Here some blunt facts: the band released a demo (2000), a mini cd (chaos in the flesh) in 2003 and opened shows for bands as Suffocation, Vader and Grave. Nice to know, right? Unless you were at those shows or wanted to buy the previous efforts your probably are going to take that knowledge for granted.
The music that Hatred plays is far more interesting if your preference goes out to quality metal because that’s what they have to offer. From the scourging opener Christian dogma to closer Blasphemous deliverance they bring you anti Christian death metal that has at least one foot in the early 90’s. Repeatedly reminding of bands as Morbid angel, Bolt thrower and early Monstrosity. That the music is mainly mid-paced and certain vocals lines are a bit one dimensional doesn’t have to be a problem because the groove and the overall dynamic definitely make up for it. They know how to write a good song but a little more adventure on the next album could do wonders.
A compliment goes out to Hans Pieters of the excess studio whom gave this album an incredible thick sound and one for the art work which is a big improvement in comparing to the previous album.
Despite my critical remarks this is still a good album where the band can be proud off. A band who obvious knows what their doing and that stands firm in the underground.
