 The Rise Of Brutality
With the release of their ninth album, The Rise of Brutality, the band continues to maintain an underground army of fans eager for their formulaic brand of death metal.
It is no surprise that the band has shared a stage with several rock legends such as Ozzy Osborne and Murphy’s Law, and they bring the same passion and flair to The Rise of Brutality.
While the album is short, running a mere 32 minutes, Hatebreed manages to delve into more types of emotion than the average headbanging band album.

 InternetEd Reviews: Hypocrisy- Catch 22
Hypocrisy is a twisted Swedish black/death metal band that has managed to put out some of the heaviest metal records known to man. Very few extreme music artists are capable of mixing melody and brutality while keeping the dark atmosphere of their sound intact the way Peter Tagtgren and crew have done.
Though Catch 22 is not Hypocrisy's single finest work, it is still one of their best, ranking up there with Abducted and The Final Chapter for its usage of sheer brutality with gripping melodic darkness.
Infusing massive riffs and precise melodies, "On The Edge Of Darkness" is a great song in a style not heard from the band since the brilliant The Final Chapter record, and "A Public Puppet" is an excellent extreme metal song with some deviously syncopated rhythms.

 Hatebreed : The Rise of Brutality
'The Rise Of Brutality' clocks in at 32 solid minutes of enjoyment, to be exact - as brief as many of the band's favorite records from iconic bands in the heavy music lexicon - Slayer's "Reign in Blood" chief among them.
The band was determined to turn a corner with 'The Rise Of Brutality' and yet equally intent on doing so without compromising or letting anyone down.
Hatebreed wrote 'The Rise Of Brutality,' their much-anticipated follow-up to last year's acclaimed 'Perseverance,' the same way they crafted their first demo in Connecticut nearly ten years ago - gathering in a basement and jamming, narrowing it down to just over thirty minutes of passionate, sing-along ready musical exorcism.

 Blogcritics.org: Hatebreed - The Rise of Brutality
The Rise of Brutality is one of the most welcome surprises of the year.
The Rise of Brutality may not be innovative, but it sure is fun.
I was skeptical that Hatebreed's move to a major label would result in anything good, but two albums into their deal, and the band are stronger than ever.

 Hatebreed - 'The Rise of Brutality' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground]
Hardcore's biggest band once again has everyone paying attention as they are set to release their third full length album- and only about a year after the last one (as opposed to the five years separating "Perseverance" and "Satisfaction...").
"The Rise of Brutality" is a Hatebreed record.
Their songs are to-the-point, two minute explosions of mosh parts and catchy, anthemic and uplifting lyrics - I think they've nailed hardcore about as perfectly as any band has...

 BLACKMETAL.COM BLACK METAL - BEWITCHED - BLACKMETAL
Brutality is NOT compromised at the expense of sterility & perfection-- true rage, brutality, & grinding violence is the ultimate result of this band's debut!
This album starts & ends with epic instrumental grandeur similar to that of Limbonic Art in all their cinematic glory, but gives way to furious, raging blasting storm of steel-y Thrashy Blackened Death that will have you worshipping Satan forever!
The high-calibre sound quality of the recording will surprise you, but will help to magnify the monstrous strength of the song-writing that pays strict microscopic attention to even the most minute detail of each song!

 Shellac - 1000 Hurts (Touch and Go)
As Shellac fans, we all already are familiar with the nerd/tough-ass dyad that exists in the band, and I think that most of us feel that the tension between these two reactive elements is what makes their music so fun to listen to.
Shellac is a band whose members are famous for being super tough nerds.
I felt that whatever conflicts were already brewing within the band's collective personality would surely be precipitated by this state of affairs into an all out and decisive battle that would have one of two possible results.

 Testament Biography / History
Glen Alvalais, who was previously in the band in 1993 on Return To The Apocalyptic City, was acquired to play on tour for the live material.
At around the same time, the band left the Atlantic label, mainly because the guys thought the label had done a less than adequate job managing and promoting the band (not to mention asking them to record an 'alternative' album).
It was said from the beginning that the album would be a combination of sorts between the variety found on the Low record and the brutality found on Demonic.

 Tartarean Desire Webzine - Hypocrisy, Exodus and Keep Of Kalessin live report
Virus has renewed the band’s style in many ways, not only alternating very varied compositions in terms of tempo and melodies, but also adding some brutality with the integration of Horgh behing the skins, who has introduced virtuosity in blastbeating to the Hypocrisy style.
After this introduction, the band continues with an unexpected track: Carved up that is in fact a transition towards Abducted and is the only song they played off of Roswell 47 (Lyon 47 today), that Hypocrisy reserved for the end of the set.
Much to my dismay, we will not be granted with one song from their debut album, Penetralia, when the band usually plays Left to rot somewhere along the line.

 Hartford Advocate: A Return to Brutality
The band had watered down their unrelenting trademark brutality for nu-metal radio-friendly sounds, and even a guest vocal by Cypress Hill's B-Real, who is very cool but, let's face it, not metal.
Though Fear Factory's blend of industrial beats, synths, with metal and hardcore elements, and both shouted and sung vocals may not be unique today, the band stood out for these elements in the early 90s, when grunge and modern rock dominated commercially, and the metal underground was all about the Satan-loving brutal death metal.
Drummer Raymond Herrera explains that the band did not reconfigure without a mission; reestablishing themselves in the hearts of the band's core audience was on the band members' minds.

 Metallian.com - Cadaver
Cadaver has never been linear and Necrosis is strictly recommended for those who can take a cornucopia of sounds atop the brutality.
That itself is a tradition of sorts for this band and the 2004 release does not intend to be different.
After one album as Cadaver Inc. the band resurfaced in 2004 again as Cadaver, this time on Candlelight Records.

 CD Baby: TRAUMA CONCEPT: The End Of Denial
Combine these accomplishments with constant touring, and the fact that the band had only been around for a year and a half when these accomplishments were made, and you can plainly see that Trauma Concept is unarguably one of the hardest working bands out there.
Trauma Concept is a wake-up call using brutality to batter your senses.
Since their debut release, "The End of Denial"(2002) [recorded by Adam D. of KillSwitch Engage (Roadrunner Records artists)], the band has been a non-stop powerhouse, gaining a nationwide fanbase.

 NEW Goth Metal World - your gate to the dark side - ThanatoSchizO
Listening to "Schizo Level" (which was released in July 2001), the prevailing idea is that the band managed to reach a level where melody and brutality are successfully connected and different styles (from brutal death to atmospheric avant-garde metal, joining raw black metal with some psychedelic rock) are gathered.
Thanatos reached the 11th position (ahead bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Immortal and Primordial) in a list of twenty and were the third best Portuguese band.
Throughout all this process, the band signed a contract with the independent Rage of Achilles and a worldwide edition of "InsomniousNightLift" was agreed for January 2003, with a pre-releasing on Portuguese territory by the same independent that has edited "Schizo Level" -Misdeed Records- in September 2002.

 So I'm in this band: Influences, Part II: Swans
There was, however, some weird kind of beauty in the urgent, desperate way that the songs were put together, and it seemed to me even then that its brutality had a point that was lacking from some of the other dark music I was listening to at the time.
But somewhere along the line I picked up the idea that Swans were interesting and important, and when I saw a cheap CD in the Swans section, I grabbed it.
I've had a long and fruitful relationship with the music of Swans and their two most central members, Jarboe and Michael Gira, since.

 SWANS - Interview Chart(Toronto)
This dubious badge of achievement was earned by Swans, the all-time champs of the Sonic Brutality Index (defined as the inverse ratio between decibels produced and the area of the room enclosing them).
Though he's quick to point out that Swans are a collaborative effort involving all band members (Gira: vocals and writing; Jarboe: vocals and keyboards; Norman Westberg: guitars; Al Kyzis: bass; Ted Parsons: drums), the band is essentially his-which means without him they wouldn't exist.
When Swans intend something to be taken at face value (that "purity"), people assume all sorts of sick, hidden motives; and when they want all the implications of a word considered ("rape" for example), people usually stop after the most obvious one.

 REVIEWS S
SABBAT prove that classical Metal songwriting still can bring about much more power than many other bands of today are trying to do by megabrutal blastbeat attacks and sheer brutality.
This is a really good, talented underground band that managed to create 31 minutes filled with intelligent and conclusive song structures, a raw and very traditional feeling, and enough tempo variation (from fast blasting to crushing mid-tempo) to keep the album still interesting after the tenth time listening.
Even if the band have kept their traditional flavor, I see them more and more bent for achieving a harmonious synthesis of all the sub genres of the Metal universe that are Heavy, Doom, Death, Thrash and Back Metal.

Lacination http://www.geocities.com/lacination_remains This San Antonio, TX death metal band has been touring the state of Texas relentlessly and with good measure.
With noteworthy recordings such as “Infinite Battles for Immortality” and “Besieging Abominations” they are definitely a band not to be missed.

 HXCMP3 - (My Favorite Plaid StraightJacket (MFPS))
My Favorite Plaid StraightJacket (MFPS) was formed on New Years eve of 1999 by guitarist Alex Clem and and bass guitarist Scott Lambert, two long time friends who had a dream of creating a battering-ram of musical melody and brutality.
James, in turn, brought in Jazz trained percussionist Scott Bienkowski to try out as the bands drummer, he was the first and last person who tried out.
Another long time friend by the name of James Sawyer was recruited to take the lead vocal position in the band.

 Naglfar MUSICA.MUSTDIE.RU
After a five-year wait, NAGLFAR's third album, Sheol (Hebrew for "hell") treads through a blurry boundary of black and death metal that seethes in a foundation of thrash brutality, hailed by Metal Maniacs as "a monumental cataclysm of blackened death metal" and destined to become one of the best albums of 2003.
The band from Umeе burst onto the scene in 1992 with their "Stella Trajectio" demo, and vocalist Jens Rydйn and bassist Kristoffer "Wrath" Olivius soon secured a contract with Wrong Again Records.
Naglfar have entered the Ballerina Studio in a couple of weeks to record a new mini-CD called "Ex Inferis".

Naglfar: Personally I feel that we have produced our strongest album to date, combining the melodies that are kinda the trademark of Naglfar with the sheer brutality that is displayed on "Pariah".
Naglfar: The main thing that we did different this time was that we recorded a preproduction of the album in my homestudio.
Naglfar: It is not important at all if you ask me. The important thing is to write songs that are of good quality and that we are satisfied with.

 MACABRE "Dahmer"
Since MACABRE can't be compared to any other band, it certainly feels refreshing to listen to "Dahmer", The vocal assault also shows variety and fits just right; guttural vocals, maniac in agony-like vocals and normal, punk-like vocals in some tracks.
I had lost track of this band since the magnificent "Sinister slaughter" and this DAHMER is truly a great comeback, just in case some dumbass doesn't known who JEFFREY DAHMER was, he might have been the last great serial killer of the 20th century.
More interesting is the way they bring all these elements together in such perfect way creating musical variety, and turning their musical prowess into power, originality and brutality.

 Compact Disc Review
INCANTATION for all these years have been true to their initial mission, which is to bring brutal music to the front and for Blasphemy, they have again show they are yours truly in brutality and doomy.
How on earth for a band, which at one moment blast their music with attack and all of the sudden another track is almost 100% doom metal.
Heavily dosed with American brutal death metal and low growl is what make INCANTATION one of the most undisputed brutal and heavy band ever we have seen.

 METALEATER.COM - Interviews - Hypocrisy - Horgh
The magic was instantaneous, and in his first appearance behind the kit for Peter Tägtgren and company, he helped catapult the band to levels of brutality and variety heretofore unmatched in the band's 13+ years reign amongst Sweden's Death Metal elite.
I live in Norway and the other members of HYPOCRISY in Sweden, so we have to make plans and find a period of time that fits for all the members when we are going to practice with the band.
I'm not saying it was stressful on the earlier recordings but the fact that we are playing in the same band does something with the dialogue in a positive way.

 VH1.com : Danzig : Biography
The more experimental Danzig 4 was released in 1994 and entered the charts at number 29, but its quiet, moody, atmospheric subtlety didn't find as much favor with the band's new audience as the anthemic "Mother," while some longtime fans dismissed it as mellow and therefore commercial.
In 2002 and 2004 Danzig released the stripped-down I Luciferi and Circle of Snakes, both a return to form that found the artist emulating the simplistic brutality of his 1988 debut.
Danzig II: Lucifuge followed in 1990, and it broadened the band's musical palette, expanding on the simple blues riffs of the debut with more extensive forays into that style.

 Coercion - Reviews
Coercion isn’t all that fast, instead the keyword here is brutality and the heaviness is neck-breaking.
A new band from Stockholm have just released their debut CD, and on that album they’re performing the noble art called death metal.
Sorry about that but to listen to this band at high volume is like getting a round-kick in the stomach.
