This recording will rip your head off and continue to kick your cold lifeless body for hours after it stops twitching. It's sort of like a suped up dual carburated version of Kreator (when they were fast and heavy). Basically, I rather like it!!!!! So, buy it and spread the word today!!! DON'T LET THEM SEE YOU BLEED!!!! Dargillos Rivothead

2001's Extreme Hatred was the debut full-length from Swedish metal band Hypnosia. I suppose they're technically a thrash metal outfit, but Hypnosia has plenty of death metal elements as well. I'd lean more towards the thrash classification because the band obviously takes a huge inspiration from Kreator and the German thrash scene. The term "bullet-belted thrash" definitely comes to mind.

Extreme Hatred is all ungodly fast riffing, machine gun drumming and harsh, almost barked vocals. It's very fast, very intense and the subject matter is quite violent and dark (as it should be). There's also a measure of precision and technical proficiency that is very much a trademark of Swedish death metal, but aggression is the album's primary characteristic. It's the kind of album that makes you want to strap on spiked gauntlets and start a pit.

If you're a fan of the more aggressive thrash metal sound (Kreator, Destruction, Dekapitator, Carnal Forge, etc.) you'll definitely want to track down a copy of Extreme Hatred, even if that isn't so easy to do these days.

Edition Notes: From what I understand, there are multiple versions of Extreme Hatred out there. One has a cover of Possessed's "My Belief" as a bonus track. The version I have comes in a digipack and includes the band's 1999 Violent Intensity EP as a bonus, bringing the total to 15 tracks. If you're going to hunt down a copy of this album, that seems like the best possible version to get.

listen to the clips and let the music do the talking here. fans of early kreator and kings evil will love this.

I just listened to the samples and was blown away by this band. "I was throwing up through every sample". That's how brutal they are. I can't wait to buy the album. If you like bands like Kreator, Destruction, Beneath the Remains Sepultura, Reign in Blood and Divine Intervention Slayer, Dark Angel, etc. Get this disc. Only for metalheads that like old school brutal speed - thrash metal. You should also try Necrodeath and Criminal. Anybody can recommend any more bands like Hypnosia, please? I would greatly appreciate it.
