Genre: Metalcoreish/Tech Metal
Biography:
“This five-headed metal monster from Trondheim, Norway, is a living
proof that Norwegian heavy music isn´t all about black metal. The Norwegian
aggression, the Swede-inspired melodies, and the American ground-and-pound
riffs, it all comes together in this brutal mix of genuine musicianship!”
Recheck:
Taken from the bands new and upcoming album ‘Navigate’ – Recheck is the first track that rips open a ferocious
onslaught letting loose and causing total mayhem. It is an extreme ‘brain-smash’
experience right from the heart of Norway.
Recheck - Blistering!
Trigger
With rhythms cutting fiercely into the bone the chain of events that
follow are abrasive and devilish. The vocal slurry skims and then penetrates
into the ears. The emotion is rife and as the title suggests is a 'trigger' for a
brutal pasting!
The Letter
This doesn’t give the listener time to take in the impressive and
passionate grooves to the full before it sweeps you into oblivion in a mind
blowing frenzy of tempestuousness.
Superb Band - The Hate Colony
Blood Runs Black
The shrill cry of an electric guitar blisters but instead of burning
sends cold shards of icy chills down the backbone. Vocally seething and raw it
hits vehemently surrounded by a melodic ambient haze.
Solitude
Simple little rhythm underlies a harsher gait. This is a clever
track that houses a deep growling that in turn twists rhythmically to a
mesmeric bludgeoning beat.
Domain
Bristles with inescapable incitement and is enthralling as it is
gripping as it climbs to a high octane capacity. The run on riffs is corrosive
and captivating along with some violent beats and more melodic superiority.
When Worlds Collide
Another shrill display of notes that crisply float to a harsher rhythmical
swagger. It explodes with addictive ability and offers another swing at a
heavyweight vocal and captivates sensationally.
Nothing Less
Pushing aside its densely populated heavy rhythms is the savage growling
vocal rampage. It is a barrage of intensity that swirls ferociously around the
aural like a swarm of angry bees.
Interlude
Leaves the heaviness aside is this theatrical display of diversity
using clean strings and piano which adds a breath of fresh air to a very dark
album and a welcome retreat to gain one’s sanity.

core works very well within a technical endeavour and will give the listener
something imaginative whilst luring them into a total abyss!”

Dialogue
Back to its melee of scintillating madness are some harsh thumping beats
and surrounding towering riffs that the vocal gnawing sits proudly upon making
it another adventurous and intimidating track.
Pandemonium
Is far reaching and mind blowing in its predatory guise to incite
emotive forces which it does with ease as the infectious grooves hit in quick succession?
A dramatic and fiery infusion of pushy rhythmic swagger and full on vocal
seething.
Path of Resistance
Is a rather disturbing track that punches through a wild strange
opening and the caustic toxicity of abrasive vocals flow like a molten river
burning everything in its path?
Welcome to the Hate
Colony
This is a torrential downpour of excitable rhythms that reach higher
than the mind can truly imagine. Its savage outpouring is tempered by strong
riffs and barrage of blistering drums.
Summary:
I can see why they got the name The
Hate Colony – the tracks are pure hate filled vengeance and is a tirade of
fuelled aggression, helped along by an uncompromising frenzied vocal.
It isn’t just a mindless end of noise as it is guided by melodic
tones however caustic but it is there all the same. The hooks reel you into
their lair of evil but it is a place that is comfortable to an all-out metal
head.
It does however have its slightly mellower moments but again the
evil is never far away along with ambiance and heaps of imagination.
This is without a doubt a compelling listen the aural embrace alone
is powerful and raw and really gets the blood coursing through the veins
infecting with pure dynamism.
Potent and highly addictive metal core works very well within a
technical endeavour and gives the listener something imaginative, whilst luring
them into a total abyss!
