This is a review of a split ep between Brazil's Whispstriker and Poland's Hate Them All called "Strike Of Hate" which was released by Old Temple and we will start off the review with Whipstriker a band that plays a blackened mixture of thrash and speed metal
Their side of the split starts out with fire, bells and demonic voices before going into a heavier first wave black metal direction. The vocals are also done in the same genre along with with the music also capturing the raw energy of punk rock at times and the music is also very heavily rooted in the 80's style.
The music also mixes in elements of thrash and speed metal along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to an old school style as well as some Kreator and Entombed covers. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover war themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Whipstriker and if you are a fan of black, thrash and speed metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In Fires Of Hell" and "When Life Has Ceased".
Next up is Hate Them All who return with their old school style of satanic black metal.\
Their side of the split starts out with a very heavy 90's influenced style along with some high pitched black metal screams a few seconds later while the music also shows an influence of the first wave style as well as the music also sticking mostyl to a mid tempo direction and they also bring in Impaled Nazarene and Skid Row covers. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Polish and English and cover Satanism, Occultism, Anti Christianity, Darkness and Evil themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hate Them All and if you are a fan of old school satanic black metal, you should check out their side of the split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Goats" and "Blood Is Thicker Than Water".
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of old school black metal and blackened thrash metal. 8 out of 10.
