Rating: After a series of good but not outstanding productions, Darkthrone return to the scene with this "Hate Them"... and the title alone makes it clear that Fenriz and Nocturno Culto have no intention of taking prisoners.
7 powerful demonic anthems in pure Darkthrone style, 7 tracks where Nocturno Culto's gravelly voice, alternating between English and Norwegian, screams anti-Christian anathemas, while Fenriz (drummer and main composer and lyricist of the band) pounds his drum skins with his usual power and speed.
The songs are in the classic evil extreme Norwegian black metal style typical of Darkthrone, the band's trademark made famous by albums like "A Blaze...", "Under A Funeral Moon" and "Transilvanian Hunger".
If you already own the aforementioned albums and think it is the moral duty of a band to revolutionize their music with every release, perhaps "Hate Them" will not be to your liking... but what can you do, this is Darkthrone, take it or leave it.
In a black metal scene increasingly suffocated and devoted to mere recycling of ideas, "Hate Them" stands out as one of the best releases of 2003, light years ahead of the albums from the hundreds of clone bands of the Norwegian duo.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Rust (06:44)
I come from a land
of systematic erasure of optimism and positiveness
You don't want to encourage me
Slowly corroding your fortified norm
Leaving you bitter, grim and sober
With rigid cramp or silent fear
I strangle what you do hold dear
With rigid cramp or silent fear
evoking addiction, limp, severe
It's sin again
Like charcoal on flaming nuns
Consistence unknown like early black metal
We're born without armor -
don't you think I'm watching my back ?!
With rigid cramp or silent fear
I strangle what you hold dear
With rigid cramp or silent fear
evoke addiction; limp; severe
02 Det svartner nå (05:38)
Trilingual babel bastards
Hate at first sight
Cryptic blame enhancer
onto greyer pastures
Hail Hail onward Hail
Agnostic results from satanic wombs
Satanic results from agnostic wombs
Det svartner nå
Lindringen slutter
Lindringen avtar
Lindringens endelikt
Blazing azid
Devoid truth
Dont' drink the water, they are rating you
Suicidal wrath on broken glass
onward Hail
Det svartner nå
Lindringen slutter
Lindringen avtar
Lindringens endelikt ...
Agnostic results from satanic wombs
Satanic results from agnostic wombs
07 In Honour of Thy Name (06:28)
Sinking deeper into the fabric
Investing more in the movement
Facing east
Skin 'em alive
Scar tissued shadows
Grease factories for weapons
Black Metal is the devil's fuel
Ram painted abattoirs
Hail the new born king
Join the dead (join the dead)
Beautiful goat regime
Venomous perils
Do you feel safe ?
Tomorrow will never end !!
Bathing your singed hair
In rust
Black Metal is the devil's fuel
Ram painted abattoirs
Hail the new born king
and join the fucken dead
