Hadoth's Review Of Black Plague's - Hatred That Feeds Upon The Soul
Topic: Music

 

REVIEW:


H.T.F.U.T.S.


Part one- Starting out with a dissonant, haunting sound similar to Endless Dismal Moan, it is without a doubt one of the most chilling plague songs written yet. this is especially true at 6:35 into the song, as the screams reflect what i would imagine as mental suffering- sounding very torrtured and in anguish. even though this track comes in at 11 min, it does not feel that way; Nino made very sure that this track sounded as hypnotic as it is dark. The promo track, im afraid, does not even compare to the long version, as with the long version, you can comprehend and capture the true essence of this song.

H.T.F.U.T.S part 2- the second part of this is very well done indeed. screams sounded just like in the EDM "ruin" cover, from the BP split. Personally, it reminded me of an endless void, decayed, and old ruins around it. Also, it had a nice nightmare touch that Nino brilliantly puts on many of his songs.

Under the sign of the occult / faded memories of a lost being- Two beautiful instrumentals. "faded memories" actually reminded me a bit of exiled from light's piano work. I can do very little to describe these songs, since the songs very much speak for themselves.

"Cold heart in a dead world"- I was a very big fan of these lyrics, because I feel that I relate to them so much...describing a solitary being, watching a world, his existence, literally disintegrating. throughout the entire song, I found myself imagining fantasy landscapes, very abundant with foggy desolation and thoughts of hopelessness. the music is very nice as well, and goes hand in hand with the lyrics; resulting in a very atmospheric track.

End- I was very proud and honored to have participated in this track. Even if I had'nt, i still would have thought that this track is perhaps one of the best recordings Nino has ever put out, simply because it stands out so much. This track is very much indescribable, and to fully understand it, I would suggest listening to it.

Void of all hopelessness- Starting out with melancholic bells and ambient noises, this track is very trance-like indeed. I thought the piano work was very impressive; even by black plague's standards, they were certainly very well written, and fit the song appropriately.

Endless Dismal Moan cover- if chaos9 were alive today, I can safely say that he would be speechless towards this cover. I can't imagine anyone else honoring endless dismal moan in the way that Nino did with this track. He has mixed together the nightmare that is EDM...with the vision that is black plague. Vocals were a definite improvement from 2008's ruin effort, as the vocals were very torrtured. Perhaps nothing else with depict thirst for pleasure more accurately than this cover.

Overall: I would say this is the best black plague album put out yet. it seems that ever since Lost touch with inner reality was put out, black plague has been improving ever since, pushing the boundaries into places no other artist or previous black plague album has gone before. 2009, im sure, promises a very good start for black plague with the release of H.T.F.U.T.S.
