Germany's Total Hate have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a very raw and misanthropic form of black metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Forthcoming Age of The Reaper" which will be released in November by War Anthem Records.
A very epic orchestra sounding intro starts off the album before going into a very fast and r aw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. All of the instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
A lot of the music is also very heavily rooted in the old school tradition while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar soloes and leads are utilized they are also done in a very raw yet melodic style along with the riffing also adding in a small amount of melody at times.
Clean playing is also added on one track along with acoustic guitars and synths also being utilized briefly as well as one song also being an instrumental and the album also closes with an Urgehal cover.. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Misanthropy, Hatred, Death and Blasphemy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Total Hate and if you are a fan of raw and misanthropic black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Eternal Lust For Blood" "Burn With Your Prophet" and "Downfall of Tolerance". 8 out of 10.
