I bought this album when it came out in '91 and I've also had the privilege to see them live in '93. Hate Songs is a classic debut from these guys. However to say that there is any influence from Sepultura in this album or any other Fudge Tunnel release would be a false statement. Yes I know Max of Sepultura, (also a favorite band of mine) and Alex of Fudge Tunnel hooked up and did the NAILBOMB thing, (If you haven't heard of NAILBOMB, shame on you). But if there's any influence it would be the HUGE Fudge Tunnel influence on Sepultura's Chaos A.D., (Also an excellent CD. No self-respecting hardcore enthusiast should be without it). Take it from someone who's been down from day one. Get this CD, Creep Diets, and Complicated Futility of Ignorance by Fudge Tunnel, Get Point Blank by NAILBOMB as well as their live CD titled Proud To Commit Commercial Suicide (incredible for a live CD; better than in the studio), and Get Chaos A.D. or any other release following it by Sepultura, (Caution: You may not be ready for anything by Sepultura before Chaos A.D. :Bestial Devastation, Schizophrenia, and Arise. They were all very good albums, they were just a lot heavier then. I loved 'em, myself but I can't say that everyone will).

4.0 out of 5 stars good times, great oldies: Fudge Tunnel's first movement, November 6, 2005

This review is from: Hate Songs in E Minor (Audio CD)

When this came out, the sludgy versions of "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Sunshine of Your Love" attracted me enough to buy it. Now I've nearly forgotten about those two songs -- the rest of the disc is great dirge-y noise rock, lightyears ahead of most of its contemporaries. And nothing at all like its fellow British rock of the day. There is a swagger to these slow-spun riffs that belies any UK origins. And an underlying sense of momentum and swelling intensity that makes the album anything but "slow."

Later albums seemed to move closer and closer to a conventional hardcore metal sound, but "Hate Songs" bears more resemblance to what came from the Melvins camp around the start of the nineties.

What's Alex Newport up to these days?

If you were a teenager when this came out, its just as loud and twisted now that im 37. buy it and own a piece of history. feedback lords, comparable seconds to hendrix himself.
