Biography:
“This five-headed metal monster from Trondheim, Norway, is a living proof that Norwegian heavy music is not all about black metal. The Norwegian aggression, the Swede-inspired melodies, and the American ground-and-pound riffs, it all comes together in this brutal mix of genuine musicianship. You like what you hear? Join the Colony!”

Recheck
The stabs of melodic groove come bounding from the speakers with a superb squall of vocal prowess. The music is a pleasurable roller-coaster ride of turmoil and tempestuousness that takes you by force and unreservedly rhythmic and enthralling.
Trigger
The waves of bubbling rhythm carry you on a bed of strong and impressive emotions. It is harsh and resoundingly heavy and malice ridden. The sonic stabs of melodic coaxing is powerful and engaging with tempting causticity.
The Letter
Is a rampageous onslaught that embeds itself into the ears, its lingering ruthlessness is well lasting and imaginative in its delivery while the melodic guitar imposes their startling rewards with ferocious velocity.
Blood runs Black
Is a stab in the arm with a dose of highly charged venomous intentions, pursuing the listener with a thrusting power that is likely to attention grab and have you reaching for the replay button. The textures are thick and deserving with their own compelling contagion.
Solitude
The melodies work well together here ebbing and flowing with a hot molten content that embellishes the aural. Constantly brimming with a mighty hunger that is greedy for recognition whilst being seductive and over rides the senses.
Domain
With a feisty slab of drumming and a sonic presence of guitar this track comes to light and simply explodes in a malignant haze of rhythmic enthusiasm. It is laced with its own hatred and a bold and forcible track that leaves no stone un-turned and comes to a tantalizing conclusion – This is superb!
When Worlds Collide
The icy stabs of choppy little notes flurry amid an acid rain of strong beats and tempestuous rhythm. For the first time on the CD the vocal can be heard as clean and mixed with a mighty growl – making this one intense structure and living up to its title. This track goes out with a bang!
Nothing Less
Unleashed and angry this track swipes with a frenzied claw of contempt as it twists and turns into a battering ram of pure and unadulterated poison. Injecting the ears with a rampant slurry of madness – but we expect ‘Nothing Less’
Interlude
An intense little classical piano ensemble that lifts the spirit and plagues the soul with a change of tempo and engages the senses sending icy slithers of back-bone chills through the body.
Dialogue
Back to the fire and brimstone this track lunges with a feisty sword that slashes and cuts to the bone. It is an emotional roller-coaster whose highs out weight its lows musically speaking, however the low growls are stunning and rewarding.
Pandemonium
Another track that flurries with excitement and invigorating textures built upon an overwhelming structure that delivers with a mighty fist to the throat! Distinctly enriched with angular riveting noise that feeds swiftly on the ears.
Path of Resistance
Holds a brooding ambiance that ripples with un-bounding qualities. It is laced with poignant rhythms and seething vocal adventure that laps at the ears and stimulates its victims with an absorbing presence.
Welcome to the Hate Colony
Invasive and formidable are just two words to describe this hate ridden cacophony of compelling and imposing landscapes. The vocal surges are bedlamic and devilish, while the beating rhythms are shrouded in a wash of sonic guitar bait.
Summary:
This is one superb album that houses a constant magnetic pull and delivers with an intent to lure the listeners into the cavernous grooves that pervade The Hate Colony’s world that is if it has not collided with another planet first!
Its blistering thirteen tracks are intense and are immediately attention grabbing! Best played loud for full on effect (Is there any other way?) but make note if you do, the scars will never heal.
The crippling barbaric beats and perfectly timed rhythms blend constantly ensuring the listener has a well-balanced array of structures to settle into like a comfy armchair.
The tones are crisp and that added little interlude is a welcome respite from the onslaught although equally impressive are the solid tracks that ooze a venomous bite!
If you wake up tomorrow feeling slightly angry – you can blame it on The Hate Colony!
Superb album – well worth a listen or six!!!
