Retro Review: Hate - Solarflesh review

In a extreme up and down genre like Blackened Death Metal, few acts stand out as amazing, let alone just good. Bands like Behemoth or Goatwhore are the leaders in the genre. Then theres the underground stuff that has about 1 in every 100 that are good. That good one is Hate. They have been around for quite some time and have gained a small but significant following. Their most recent album Solarflesh, which was released in 2012, was an amazing album. I have rarely been able to listen to full death metal album without getting bored, but this album left me wanting more. Each song is unique in its own, and while not satanic like most black/death bands (thank God) , it feels dark and moody. I loved this album from start to finish, and if you love death metal, it is a must have. The only complaint  I have is the 3 minute intro, which was a little much for me.

Score: 9/10

Heaviness: 10/10
