Title: God won't like it, but you probably will!
Review: Hate's "Holy Dead Trinity" isn't going to win any awards for originality in the world of death metal, but that's clearly not the aim. Instead, Hate is content to stick to the standard death metal forumla of blistering riffs, pummeling drums, and lacerating vocals. Throw in a hearse-full of lyrics that God wouldn't like, and you've got the prototypical old-school death metal CD. Very fast. Relentlessly brutal. Morbidly evil. And pretty darn good.Overall, this is a well-written, well-performed, competently produced death metal album. But it's by no means a classic, and if you're a death metal fan you probably already have a CD in your collection that sounds a lot like it. Still, it's quality material from a promising band, and it's ulimately worth your consideration. It's the perfect CD to blare out the window on Halloween night to keep the trick-or-treaters away.
