Koen: Oops he did it again! Gerard de Koning of Deity Down Records obviously has a nose for talented death metal bands. Deity Down’s third release is another smack in the face to a number of recordlabels that seem to have forgotten what the underground scene is all about and only produce commercial shit. I’m not saying this because I’m personally acquainted with the man but because it’s true! ‘Blasphemous Deliverance’ is Hatred’s full-length debut album. In 2000 the band debuted with their self-titled demo, followed by a mini album in 2003 entitled ’Chaos In The Flesh’. In the meantime Hatred destroyed the stages in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, France, Spain and Holland and played with Lord Belial, Vader, Grave and Suffocation.
Then things became quiet for a while but when Koen Dingemans (also in Stronghold) joined as the new vocalist / frontman in 2006, Hatred made a fresh start and signed with Deity Down Records. The CD was recorded at Excess Studio in Rotterdam (Holland) and was produced by Hans Pieters. From the opening upbeat track ‘Christian Dogma’ to the sultry title track, this CD is filled with strong song writing, well-built harmonies, anti-religious lyrics and fast paced Nineties death metal. The more you listen to this album the more you hear. It is raw, melodic, harsh and brutal. Some favourite songs of mine are ‘Religion = War’, ‘Involution’ and ‘Blessed By Possession’, but be sure to check out ‘Blasphemous Deliverance’ yourself. The entire CD is streamable here, so don’t hesitate and support the Dutch death metal scene!
