SWARM OF HATRED
“Shrine of Negativity”
(Australis Records)
Battle Helm Rating
This one impressed the hell outta me. Not being familiar with this band before I got sent this album I had no idea what to expect. But the black metal that this band plays is of the brand that gets your heart pumping. This is very close to sheer brilliance. I don’t remember the last time a band impressed me this much. SWARM OF HATRED’s black metal contains so many elements that it is hard to pick them all. Listening to this gives me chills down my spine. I am really glad that this one came along my way.
