Hatred Shaped Man

This album should be a shock to the death metal world at least as the espect of Nasum and Burnt By The Sun.
Instead of Moving faster and faster Lehavoth claimed what so manny wished to find - music which is both fast as a shark and slower than life in the same time. That thing was nearly accomplished completely by Morbid Angel, but the brutal death metal world of the year 2000+ haven't see that coming.

The oppening instrumental cuts with an industrialized sound and then to the buttom point with a grinding riff that smashes everything. It's got groove, It's got style and it's got Nir Doliner hellish drumming to attack all that remains.


Next, Ghostnation stands out with it's memorial bridges to chorus and a nasty hardcore like ancores spreaded in the music. Imagine SOAD gone totally into Cryptospy !

Non-Civilzed is a catchy tune compare to the rest of the matirial and the closing part got a sludgy unbelivible riffage that noises you out of your mind.

2nd Practice takes a lil change in the intensity from the demo, and thats quite a shame, it was one of the better songs over there.

Then comes the masterpiece of intensity, Iconoclastic remains a destroyer and with the keen production it becomes a monster, imagine to be run down by a bulldozer - and liking every moment of it !

Reptile is a short grindcore act which deals with hate. less than a minute of shured brutallity

Rodenst among us and the title track are rather the weakest points in the album, but Stroming thy Earth saves the day with a catchy death metal riffing and brutal vocals from Molech.

Burning the seed is the closer, the most early work of matrial in the right side of death metal that was presented by Lehavoth - includes a classic rffing (Even one of them is so catchy it's reminds me of Iced Earth for a blink of an eye)

In conclusion, it is graded brutal album from one of the Israel's top brtual artists. The magic is not so magical if you havn't so those monsters on stage... it gives a new dimension to the monstorsity !
