What Eastern Europe's metal scene lacks in production
sophistication, is made up in turbulent enthusiasm and
brutal intensity. Kept suppressed for decades by the
Communist regime, most extreme music there has only
circulated through word-of-mouth and crude cassettes,
surviving the networking of a real underground where it
was illegal to own such defiant noise. Outlawed and held
secret for most of its existence, Eastern Bloc metal has
become the true connoisseur's thrash, with an onerous
sound dealt by years of harsh conditions, true despair,
with no real hope for any future, good or bad. Poland's
Hate may be one of the most despondent and desperate-
sounding among the Slavic death brigades, hammering away
at perplexing riffage and inhuman conditions that cast
down any fragment of optimism. After all, any band that
titles its most outgoing, mainstream screamer as "World
Has To Die" are reckoning on more than just backstage
babes and their slot on the Family Values tour. Best
title: "God Overslept."
