Review: After two minutes
of intro - way too long - Hatecraft kicks off
with the typical Hellhaunt-style black thrash metal.
Sadly it’s also done in its typical uninspiring
production – guitars directly plugged in, muffled
and badly mixed drums, and the distortion-covered vocals
(or if they’re not distorted, the mix fucked them
up). Most tracks are pretty hard to sit through, because
of the sound, and are hardly hitting home anyway. Perhaps
this band should not focus on quantity in releasing, but
on quality. Hellhaunt manages to keep my expectations
low…
