5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Music, August 8, 2005

By 

Internal Abbatoir (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suicidal Emotions (Audio CD)

Abyssic Hate is hateful and uncompromising. This music is not for the weak. With that said, it is not for people who are looking for corporate black metal in the vein of Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth. However, for people who are interested in Burzum and so forth, this is a welcomed post-1997 black metal gem. This release is relentless and unique in its execution, style, and presentation. You could describe it as being suicidal black metal, which is what the title "Suicidal Emotions" indicates. In most cases, it is easy to dismiss such a title as being pretentious and cliché, but Suicidal Emotions lives up to its name. In many ways, the album can be viewed as the last moments of a jaded man's life before he finds peace and solace in his very own death.

Abyssic Hate takes you within the depths of misanthropy. The guitars are deeply layered and intricately interwoven to create despondent atmospheres. There are disharmonies that make the music sound sick, painful, and unnerving. This music is powerful and it washes over you; it evokes a response and does not let you sit idly.

This is perhaps one of the best black metal releases that has come out in years, since it is without a doubt one of the genre's most fatalistic albums. At the core of Abyssic Hate's sound is a deep hatred for mankind. This music is not for everyone, which is the whole point behind the premise of Abyssic Hate. The point of Abyssic Hate is to separate the weak from the strong; the poseurs from the true and elite. Now, this may seem pompous, but this is what Abyssic Hate is about - a fantastical world where the strong survive and the weak perish as they ought. The music reflects this thought pattern, and although the music is self-loathing and hateful, there is a resonating beauty underneath the chaos.

Abyssic Hate gets five stars simply for accomplishing what it sets out to do, and also for truly creating something that differs from anything else within the genre. This music is far more interesting than your basic "Satanic Goth metal band posturing as evil people garbage." It is original and unrelenting. It is one of the most hateful albums that I have ever heard. It is a must have for anyone into black metal, or dark music in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars melancholic, jet black music, May 13, 2005

This review is from: Suicidal Emotions (Audio CD)

really depressing and somber black metal, which is a bit of a surprise considering this excellent band hail from australia, typically known for its hack and slash, cackhanded war metal (atomizer, anatomy, destroyer 666) etc. really melancholic, jet black music that perfectly encapsulates the quintessence of suicide. funereal music for the mopey b@stard in you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack to your suicide!, March 15, 2005

This review is from: Suicidal Emotions (Audio CD)

Abyssic Hate's Suicidial Emotions is a true depressingly hateful album with no strings attached! The cover shows exactly what you will be listening to, flesh opening pain! There are only four songs, but these four songs are the most depressing songs you will ever listen to! When I read the lyrics, I get chills because the lyrics are so cold and hateful! The music sounds very similar to the elite Burzum and Wigrid. Like BURZUM, Abyssic Hate is a one man project, meaning he does all the instruments and vokills (yes, there are a few keyboard licks thrown in at the end, but the keyboards also are very empty sounding and very atmospheric!) The guitars are very similar sounding to BURZUM's "Filosefem" and Gorgoroth's "Pentagram". Listen closely on "Despondency", I believe he borrowed a lick of BURZUM's "Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament"! BUY THIS OR COMMIT SUICIDE (not really)!
