 | Author: ShadesOfGray (Detroit, M.. | I've been a fan of this band since "Holy Dead Trinity", and to me this is their best work to date. Hate definitely deserve to be mentioned among the elite death metal bands from anywhere, and certainly among the top Polish bands like Vader, Behemoth, Trauma, Devilyn, Lost Soul, etc. "Morphosis" is tight, fast, brutal, and blasphemous, as fans would expect. But the production on this album is better than they've ever had before (there's a big difference even from "Anaclasis"). Hate can play as fast as anyone, but they also throw in some evil little melodies and industrial effects here and there, resulting in memorable, recognizable songs that don't just blur together. The repeating melody from "The Evangelistic Pain" in particular has been stuck in my head since I first heard it, and "Catharsis" is one of the sickest tunes I've heard in awhile. There's not one filler track to be found. All in all a top quality effort. Highly recommended. | 3 |
