Morphosis in Bloomington, MN

Hate's sixth studio release is yet another slab of blistering, riff-heavy death metal. Hailing from Poland, Hate bears a slight resemblance to countrymen Vader, especially in the primeval, raspy-throated vocal area. However, where Vader strongly emulates Slayer, Hate doesn't seem to latch onto one specific influence. MORPHOSIS combines elements of the old school of death metal with the modern, frenzied extreme-metal approach. At times, one can hear elements of Bolt Thrower and Entombed, as well as Behemoth and Kataklysm.
