Like the 800 bands that sound like them, Haste mixes hardcore Rage with syrupy boy-band regressions. Their strength is inventing golden titles for shitty songs.
Fans will get hard-ons for Candiria, Iced Earth, Stuck Mojo, and Nevermore while being exposed to Krisiun, …And Oceans, The Forsaken, and other eye-poppers.
How better to offer tribute to a band that criss-crossed punk, hardcore, metal, and reggae than to have a long and diverse comp that’s practically unlistenable?
With 17 tracks, 76 minutes, there’s something here for anyone into metal: Heavy, power, nü, black, death, doom, epic, Goth, hardcore, and the schools within.
