It’s been said that Abyssic Hate is Burzum worship. Well…it is. But this kills Burzum dead. Right from the start, the misanthropy of this album engulfs the listener. Like Burzum (especially on say Filosofem), this album is repetitive as fuck, so if you don’t like that sort of thing, fuck off and listen to Dream Theater. Abyssic Hate is not for you and they probably hate you anyway. Depression Pt 1 is a plodding, atmospheric, depressing work of art. Like most of the songs on this album, this track screams feelings of despair, rage and loneliness. Betrayal is every bit as good. Now I’m not saying that there’s anything new to be found on this album. Like melodic death metal, black metal is a crowded field that has been beaten into the ground by crapacts and clonery. This album is a nice reminder of what black metal used to be: raw, intense, uncompromising, depressing, dark and all things grim. The tracks on this album are as short as 7 minutes and as long as 17, so if you’re a lamegrind fan with the attention span of a goldfish or a brutal death nerd, get lost. Abyssic Hate are above your complaining and petty mockery.(© Metal-Archives, by heavens_coffin)
