Hate

Weirdo. This is the only definition I can give to this Sarcofago album. Well, it’s pretty violent too but the atmosphere we can breathe here is something sulphurous and really strange. The drum machine ruins it, I believe, but the group’s aggression is well fixed in the guitars work too and in the vocal lines, never too growling or screamed.

Surely, it’s worst that “I.N.R.I.” or “Rotting” but, in some ways, they reconquered their original hate and violence they lost a bit in the more thrash oriented, but good “The Laws Of Scourge”. The first two songs are really brutal with the drum machine always on up tempos or blast beats but nothing great. Far better the malignant bass drum parts where the guitars are more evil and able to express their power.

Quite good the more mid paced track like “The God’s Faeces” with a good refrain and down tempos during the verse, filled with some ritualistic chorus in the middle. Creepy. Another more mid paced track is “Orgy Of Flies” where there are good drum stomps and fucking heavy thrash guitars. The other tracks like “Satanic Terrorism” or the title track (with a terrible but fun intro) are faster and more violent. Sometimes, anyway the violence is not enough to make so good songs…

“The Phantom” and “Rhabdovirus” are again total up tempos with better, more focused bass drum parts. Despite the name “Anal Vomit” is doomy! I expected another grind attack…instead…better to break the monotony. All in all, a quite good album, ruined a bit by the drum machine but anyway truly evil and back to the roots from this point of view. Basically, this album is divided in two parts: brutal songs and the slower ones…in this case I preferred the slowest ones. It’s not another “I.N.R.I.” anyway. Now, it’s your choice.
