Here you can find the noise of a starting band on their first release. It means you will find a production with a bestial mixing, without thinking in being “pro” or other crap.
Riffs strike deadly, proper of a Death Metal band, like a killer chainsaw. Here or there are some dive bombs/horses movements that seems to me killer. Drums are louder than other instruments in my morbid opinion. The band plays mostly brutal, but in fact there are many passages of drums, so the tempos change, from fast to slow, to thrasher.
Vocals are total monstrous. If you ask me, I can say the band is a bit technical when it comes to play between the tempos and the kind of riffs. Fortunately, it is not technical in the sense of “hard riffs”. On the opposite it is technical enough to don’t bore you, but without falling in guys desperate to show their “musical” skills. All of us want Death Metal soldiers after all; not “musicians”, if you get what I mean. All in all, we can say that it is not a “simple band” but has some level of complexity in their compositions.
If you think on Immolation (chords pull), some parts of Incantation (slow and dark), a jackal riffs as Deicide here or there; Monstrosity (Final Cremation summoned some place???) or Malevolent Creation (mid tempo hammering riffs/drums), Morbid Angel summoning too… As you can realize it is oriented to US Death Metal, which fits perfect for me; now you can get an approach to the band.
Almost the entire release gets “intros”, that at first sight I found a bit no sense and that could stop you the darker feeling. But once you listen again, it can be said that, these intros fitted well and got a proper prelude for the songs shown.
It is highly recommended for those worshippers of 90s Death Metal, US style. Those that want direct and simple riffs, that don’t know the US 90s Death Metal style, must avoid it.
This stuff is a second edition of the original release from 2006. Second one has 13 tracks in total, including the songs of 2006 and adding the intros per each, to reach the 13 tracks mentioned.
Current edition is released by Old Temple from Poland in a 3 piece grey color booklet. Some won’t like this kind of presentation, cos maybe they are waiting for a pin, sticker, patch, card, t shirt, candies, balloons, other surprises for kids, etc. They are looking for nice accessories and forgot that METAL is something obscure and evil, not “nice things”. Covers look more evil than the original (in which a clown was shown???) and there appear a couple of phantasmagorical aliens into a bestial crypt or something. The release is completed with an evil and not common pro gold color CD.

Hate Them All (POL), Goat Tormentor, CD:
First of all this is an EP released by Old Temple and the stuff arrived for a proper review. Here we have some misanthropic Black/Thrash from Poland, even with some punk/hardcore touches. Mostly the entire time sounds in the black/speed/thrashings ways, with few blasts beats here or there and some more “blacker” riffs. Some mid-tempo into the songs is also included. I can say everything is well recorded, it is not a noisy release, but you can listen almost all the instruments properly.
Is absolutely rare for me, but that vocals sounds very similar to a Peruvian band, called Crown of Worms; not to be expected ah!? Surely not!
It has a cover and back cover painted by the artist Somluck from some Asian country, where irreligious and obscure entities are shown; while showing a devilish goat making a massive onslaught to some priests, nuns, or something on the back cover. If you would like long booklets with lyrics and that, maybe it would not like you, cos it show only a two pages booklet, with a pic of the members inside.
Clearly they are a kind of misanthropic and hate everything of course, and at the same time they are dressed as death commandos, with soldiers mask and that. Some songs titles seem to be in polish, but those that are possible to understand are: “Unholy War - Without God”, “A Skull Destroyed by Time”, “Destroyer of Bones”; so you can realize these bastards like human bones and total destruction!
It was released with 7 tracks in total, in almost 20 minutes, as it is an EP.
