More Polish death metal from one of their heavyweight
contenders. This, their second full-length, starts off with "Apocalypse",
which features some nice 5/4 to 6/8 technicality. The 6/8 time reappears in
"Shame Of The Creator", a devastating old-school death metal anthem. The
drumming contains one of the few snare sounds left that isn't the highly
tuned rimshot most seem to prefer using today, and is nice and tight, though
listeners in search of mind-bending speed may be disappointed. Incantation's
"Diabolical Conquest" comes to mind in the bass department, as "Cain's
Way" also has that flailing attack pushed far forward in the mix. "Through
Hate To Eternity" really shows this bands' Deicide influence, since they
have lifted the chorus pattern from "Serpents Of The Light"'s "I Am No
One" and dropped it into their own song, with the Benton-style back-up vocals
and everything. Whether this is accidental or intentional, I have no idea, but
if you're like me and miss the long-forgotten days of good Deicide albums,
you'll really get into this Polish killing machine. Fellow Polish death
metallers Vader also seem to have had an influence on Hate, as "Resurrected
But Failed" has those odd spoken word back-up vocals which Vader have used
frequently in the past. This is a belligerent album with strong old-school
tendencies and great songs. Favorite tracks: "Apocalypse", "Holy Dead
Trinity".
