Hate Squad/Katharsis/Massacre Records/2011 CD Review



  Hate  Squad  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  mixes  thrash,  metalcore  and  death  metal  together  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2011  album  "Katharsis"  which  was  released  by  Massacre  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  in,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  sound  very  powerful.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffing  that  combines  thrash,  metalcore  and  death  metal  together  which  some  melodies  and  technical  parts  being  thrown  in  at  times,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  distorted  and  melodic  sounding  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  exotic  sounding  guitar  scales.

  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  deep  death  metal  and  hardcore  style  growls  with  some  high  pitched  screams  being  thrown  in  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  hate  and  struggle,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  professional  sound.

  In  my  opinion  Hate  Squad  are  a  very  good  sounding  thrash/metalcore/death  metal  band  and  if  you are  a  fan  of  bands  that  mixes  these  styles  together,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECEMMONDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Katharsis"  "Misanthropic  Soul"  "Kill"  and  "Every  Second  Counts".  RECEMMONDED  BUY.
