Hate

Man, that drum machine is unbearable sometimes. This would be a great album if not for the drum machine killing the overall vibe. It buries the guitars sometimes, and that's where the real problem lies. Other than that the production is a lot clearer than previous Sarcofago works. The bass isn't even there anymore, and that sloppy evil sound we've grown to know and love has all but diminished.

This album can basically be split into two parts, slow songs, and fast songs. For the most part slow songs = good, fast songs = bad. The slower songs come off much better, because the drums don't overpower everything. Basically, the whole album sounds the same after splitting apart the songs into two groups. Of course there are the stand outs such as "Pact of Cum" and the verses of "The God's Faeces". What Sarcofago did manage to keep was an evil atmosphere. This is evidenced in the aforementioned "The God's Faeces". Which is a slower cut compared to the rest of the album's machine gun drum machine. Wagner's vocals are pretty much the same as previous albums, which is very much welcomed. The guitar solos are pretty much the same as previous albums as well, but they do tend to occasionally get buried under the drums. "Orgy of Flies" is another stand out midpaced track with some excellent thrash riffs. While "Hate" has a humorous intro, the song has the stupidest fucking lyrics and the whole vibe is lame. The solo sucks too. I know Sarcofago never had intelligent lyrics but they went from supremely necro to just retarded.

Overall, this is a disappointing record. This could have been another masterpiece if they could have gotten an actual drummer and had some bass presence. It would probably help if they through the song "Hate" out the window too. Check it out if you're Sarcofago fan, but prepare to be disappointed.
