Napalm\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Danish thrash force HATESPHERE has released one single, two EP\u00b4s and seven albums, including this one, quite a lot. Founder Peter \u201cPepe\u201d Hansen remains in the band, which has changed quite a few members over the years. Today the ranks are made of Jimmy Nedergaard, bass, Mike Park, drums, Jakob Nyholm, guitars, and Esben \u201cEsse\u201d Hansen on vocals. The band seems to be heading back to a more old school sound and an uncompromising album is promised. <\/p>\n
The album is actally more cheerful than the cover says. The joyful eighties thrash riffs on offer here, the grooves and the cracked party voice of Esse is quite convincing. The downside of their approach is that when they hold back on the refrain the music falls more flat and seem directionless, as in the title track, \u201cDevil in Your Own Hell\u201d and \u201cSmell of Death\u201d. I also think they should steer clear of short intermissions like \u201cThe Wail of My Threnode\u201d, which is barely ok. But when the Danes go for a heedless 80\u00b4s style they will acquire new fans. I wish for more in the vein of \u201cVenom\u201d, an acoustic opening, a happy touch in a dark but groovy killer song. Or why not \u201cNeed to Kill\u201d, the melodic touch is masterful and could certainly spill over on more tracks without HATESPHERE playing for empty clubs. Very alright, but with a promise for more once the band finds stability in the ranks.<\/p>\n
