Bloodred Hatred (Century Media)
by Martin Popoff
Speaking of hatred, I feel moderately that way (Hate = Bad) when I see the stupid cover art, characterless band name, and rudderless album title to this second album from our favorite thrashy Danes. But once inside the musical maelstrom entombed, I’m quite enthralled, eager, ready to hear more Swedish melodic death metal written and played and percussively pounded at the high standards the genre demands through no other reason than merciless, exhaustive precedent.
