Sorrow-A good album by hate forest with a title to fit. This album is atmospheric black with hints of ambient and pagan elements. The biggest issue for me is that this album isn't much different from "Scythia" (the album being reviewed below). Besides all that, again, nothing much to say about this release. Recommended for fans of: Drudkh and Astrofaes. Overall Rating: 6/10
Scythia-The bands first demo that has since been reissued multiple times on different labels. This album is a big difference from their other material obviously because it's their first release and they changed in style quite a bit since they started with this album. These albums i've been reviewing recently haven't had much to say about them really. Recommended for fans of: Drudkh and Astrofaes. Overall Rating: 6/10
Aeolian-A very good symphonic sludge release. This band is a collective, and one of the only collectives i listen to. Basically there are core musicians and many many musicians that come and go that add a certain part to the band. I never listen to collectives (grateful dead and other bands of the such) because i don't understand how a band can stay the same style if they don't have the same members all the time. This album is very experimenting in the genres of death, sludge, metalcore, and groove. Recommended for fans of: Kehlvin, Irreversible, Atmospheric Sludge/death metal. Overall Rating: 8.2/10
Immune-From the man who brought you Living Sacrifice and Shredded Corpse comes Soul Embraced. This is Rocky Gray's side that he formed to get out some pent up emotions aside from Living Sacrifice. This release is very good quality and is very hardcore influenced. It is very melodic and it is half deathcore half death metal. Recommended to fans of: Ancient Existence and Melodeath metal. Overall Rating: 8.3/10
The Most Ancient Ones-Another good Hate Forest release. Not much to say about it, besides that is a pretty damn good release. Recommended to fans of : Drudkh and Astrofaes. Overall Rating: 6/10
