Reviews: SAT380

Originally formed in 2008, the Peruvian band Fervent Hate are about to launch their third album, In Rot We Trust, through the cooperation of Satanath Records and Australis Records.

The album was victimized by the covid pandemic, which forced a postponement of its recording, but at last the recording work was done last year (at Alto Calibre Studio in Arequipa, Peru with Miguel Asencio), completed by the mixing and mastering of the great Dan Swanö at Unisound Studio.

The new album brings us 10 songs, again influenced by classic Swedish death metal and hard rock bands, reinforcing Fervent Hate‘s genre moniker of “death ‘n’ roll”, and today we’re very happy to premiere one of them, a track called “A Haunting Tale“.

The tale may be haunting, but the music is maniacally exhilarating, the kind of short, sharp blast of mayhem that’s guaranteed to whip up a frothing mosh pit wherever the band play it live.

Powering forward at high speed, Fervent Hate deliver bowel-loosening chainsaw riffage, earthquake bass-lines that show plenty of nuance, thunderous and battering percussion whose patterns change constantly, and rabid growls and howls, doubled-up for extra malignant insanity.

What really stands out from start to finish is how frenetically the fretwork darts and roils, yet still manages to stick hooks in a listener’s head — which is to say, it’s damned catchy. The sensations are both monstrous and exultant, and as icing on the cake, the song is capped by a beautifully swirling melodic guitar solo that becomes white hot in its delirium.

Satanath Records and Australis Records will co-release the album on May 29th, digitally and in a jewel-box CD edition with a 12-page booklet (limited to 500 copies). They recommend it for fans of Dismember, Entombed, At The Gates, and Illdisposed. It features fantastically ghastly artwork by the band’s Kanu Delgado.

For more info, check the links below — and also listen to the stream of the album’s first advance track, “Structuring The Pain“. It too will get your heart firing on all cylinders — but it’s also a ghoulish lurching and stomping beast as well as a marauding one. And once again it features ravenous vocals, electrifying soloing, and thoroughly exhilarating performances by the rhythm section.
