After listening to Hatebreed I thought that they were just another metal band manufacturing riffs but after listening to this and the other albums they lyrically talented i even got the chance to see them live and their stage presence blew me away everyone in the room went crazy and such a great atmosphere. As for this album its definatly my favourite.

From literally no promotion they sold over 200,000 copies of their album so they gotta be doing something right. This band is anything but mainstream.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Satisfaction..." Leaves Little to be Desired, October 9, 1998

This review is from: Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire (Audio CD)

Hatebreed's first semi-major label full length release, "Satisfaction is the Death of Desire" is one of the most fulfilling hardcore albums in recent memory. The songs are simple and the lyrics are straightforward; no one could consider Hatebreed to musically or lyrically profound. But the content of the album showcases a strong sense of rhythmic power and dead-on aggressive styling. There can be little doubt as to the emotions conveyed through the lyrics or the music: discontent has bred in this group some of the best heavy music in the world today. Songs such as "Puritan," "Conceived Through an Act of Violence," and "Before Dishonor" belay a theme of strength through adversity. But while the heavily distorted, de-tuned guitars, the heavy double-bass drumming, and the brutal vocals are inspired seemingly by feelings of frustration and rage, the emotion most likely to be evoked by this album is one accompanied by a smile.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic That Will Go Down In History, April 8, 2005

[...]. Hatebreed isn't death metal. They're straight in your face hardcore mixed with the brutality of metal, a winning combination. Come on, who could not love the brutality Jamey Jasta and gang deliver straight towards your face? I'm sure you've never heard of Hatebreed in 1997, unless you're a hardcore fan. I was only 9 years old at that time, so I have an excuse. "Before Dishonor" brings the guitar work of Sepultura mixed in with the hardcore tinges of Warzone and Earth Crisis, without the straight edge stuff (I think drugs are wicked. They took the lives of such great people, like Chris Farley, Brad Nowell and Layne Staley). "Before Dishonor" has Jamey's vocals a tad bit deeper than on his new stuff, but it's still great. Slightly better. (I still love Hatebreed.) "Last Breath" is another classic, even though it's only a minute and a half long. It still delivers right to your ears. It's just that great. The whole freakin' CD is awesome. What are you waiting for? Get off you ass and buy it!
