Hate Manifesto's debut album shows the band is full force, delivering relentlessly fast, punishing blackened death metal that leaves nothing but a path of destruction behind it. It's kind of cliché to say that this packs a lot of hate when the band has "hate" in its name, but that's exactly what's going on here with hate-filled growls and an omnipresent vibe that makes you look over your shoulder and expect to catch a glimpse of your impending doom. I really like the heavy, sharp guitar work here that make the whole thing sound like a race against time, going from a fast gallop style to all-guns-blazing throughout the album. It's kind of a rollercoaster ride of diverse beats that deliver several levels of punishment. Can't really find a good way to put this in words, really. Bottom line, this is hate-filled and dark as hell and it's a hell of a lot of fun and hard to get off the player. Very nicely done.
