HYPNOSIA
'Horror
Infernal'
(I
Hate Records)
I
had a surprise when I hit play on this disc, I am so used to I Hate
focusing on doom metal lately, that the violent thrash metal that
exploded out my headphones was a shock to the system, a pleasant
shock. Another pleasant surprise was seeing the old classic “Speed
Metal” symbol made legendary by the great old Canadian label Banzai
Records, who released all the classics back in the day from Venom
and many other classic bands for Canada. Surprising since this a
Swedish bands album but I loved that, would love to hear the origins
of that. Hypnosia are sadly split up these days and as you may
have guessed this a compilation album, which features tracks from the
bands ‘96/97 demos, ’99 mini-album and a couple bonus tracks to
round things off. As I said this is ripping, dirty and violent thrash
metal that would probably turn on fans of the classic thrash/death
band Demolition Hammer. I guess I could call Hypnosia
thrash/death as well, as they do have partially yelled thrash vocals
mixed with a death metal type growl and the guitars have some dm
influence as well. But overall this is just a mean and brutal thrash
metal album and it is fantastic! 'Horror Infernal' is 16 songs
and 50 minutes of head bang inducing metal you should check out.
