Tim,

Part of the art of death metal is being able to appreciate the art that we like and also the art that we do not like. I have been a fan of this group since they started. Infernus feels like a continuation of I Monarch to me. If you appreciate older schools of death metal i can completely understand.

I haven’t really liked a Hate Eternal Album since I, Monarch. Everything else just goes in one ear and out the other; pretty much forgotten as soon as I put on something else. Maybe too modern for my tastes.

Again I need to give it some more spins, but first impression was very underwhelming. Almost sounded like they were just going through the motions.

I love all this band’s work, but I think I like this album a little better than their last two. I have to disagree with the comment above about the production – to my ears it sounds significantly clearer and sharper than the last two records as well. The drumming is also top notch, and that’s not to detract from Jade, who did a great job, but Chason sounds a bit more, I don’t know….organic? Natural? Smooth? I’m not articulating myself very well, I guess. Great album.

Damn good review. I haven’t listened to it yet, but will check it out and pick it up like I do every other Hate Eternal album. Diggin’ the preview track so far. So far with headphones on, the production isn’t bothering me.

Sometimes, I just need a good beating and these guys always fit the bill. Always crushing live, too!

Kevin,

Other than the vocal mix what don’t you like about it? It still sounds like Hate Eternal just with a new drummer. I like this material on this one way more than the last record. As a fan i am partial to the first record but I Monarch is definitely up there as well.

I have to disagree, and after an initial listen this one sounds like a big step backwards, akin to Nile’s “At the Gate of Sethu”. The production came across as surprisingly muddled with Rutan’s vocals lost in the mix. I’ll give it a few more listens, but was very underwhelmed the first time around, and this is one of my absolute favorite bands.
