All Time Top 10 Metal Albums !!! --> Must Have - Every song on this Lp is a Balltearer.Its a definite Lp to hear before you die.I have not felt this way about metal,since the days of metallica s puppets,slayers seasons or meshuggah s destroy erase improve.Not going to go through singling out tracks,Just give the dam thing a listen,Before its too late...
HATESPHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - man i love this band they play with so much aggression that it just makes you want to smash things their new cd takes a few listens to grow on you but damn it s so good this is the future of thrash metal done right by these drinking machines from Denmark
Hatesphere Rip It Up (somewhat) - This was a much anticipated purchase for me. Combine an incredibly intense, Metal thrash/hardcore band with Metal s best board man (Tue Madsen), producer extrordinaire Jacob Hansen and the result should be audio nuclear destruction. Upon hearing, however, there was a dynamite explosion but megaton it wasn t.This is good, don t get me wrong, but it falls short of great. Compared to the mastery of their previous CD, Ballet of the Brute, this has to be a disappointment. The energy is there. The musicianship is still tight. But the songs just don t have the depth and intricacy of their last offering.Tue Madsen s usual mixing magic is a bit muted as well. The first song has so much overpowering percussion that you wonder how your ear drums will take 40 minutes of their drums. Happily, the mix becomes more balanced as the CD moves along.If you are into Hatesphere, then I recommend purchasing this CD. If you don t have any of their stuff, you d be better served buying 2004 s Ballet of the Brute first.
great modern thrash - Hopefully this guys keep up the crunchy thrash tunes as I dig it. Songwriting is better than on previous cds. Their EP is great too. They can get a 5 in my book if they take the songwriting to the next level - get more memorable lyrics/choruses stuck in my head.
Best thrash album i have heard in 10 yrs!!!!!! - Where the hell did this come from, absolute genius. I knew this would be good but jesus christ. Imagine a modern day Slayer cross Machine Head playing with a Swedish sound and heaviness and you get Hatesphere though not as melodic as slayer. Think burn my eyes, Reign in blood, master of puppets and vulgar display of power because this is almost as accessible as those are and who knows in years to come held in the same regard. This is the perfect album every song is cluttered with memorable and devastating riff after riff you just have to grit your teeth and nod your head in sheer admiration, every song chucks along like steam train. These riffs just drive with some force that make mastodon look like ripples on a pond. This is the only album i heard of their s and will defo be buying the rest. There is alot of influences here and is nothing really new but if you like all the forementioned and heavy as concrete but catchy as hell metal then you will be just love this. Just can t believe these aren t bigger than they are. They are the new Machine head or Metallica well at least this album is!!
