The album alternates between epic black metal and folk singing interludes throughout its ... more  ... seven tracks, which works well and keeps things reasonably varied. Each of the black metal tracks on offer here start with slow, ominous sections incorporating distant, droning riffs and low, monotonous chanting, vengeful sounding growled vocals and martial drumming complete with drum rolls and booming war drums, that slowly build in momentum as if to suggest an army approaching the enemy on the battlefield.
Elsewhere there are eerie tolling bells and ambient wind-like effects, which combined with the icy riffs and ...more |

Battlefields - Hate Forest: Relentless Slavic Black Metal (640 words)
by - written on 25/06/09 (Very useful, 19 readings)
Rating:
Hate Forest hail from the Ukraine, and specialise in ominous, hateful, raw black metal. Their third full length opens with some rather beautiful traditional gypsy folk singing, involving a chorus of soaring voices, both male and female . If I recall correctly, these are recordings from a Ukrainian funeral service; certainly the crying and weeping into which the final song at the end of the album descends would suggest this. The theme of the album is clearly one of nationalism and war: depicted on the album cover is the gravestone of the Cossack military leader Ivan Sirko (c. 1610-1680), located in the village of Kapulivkain the Dnipropetrovsk Region of the Ukraine, and ...

Products similar to Battlefields - Hate Forest
Very cold and ferocious-sounding with lots of atmosphere 
Very little in the way of variation Powerful and atmospheric, with lots of subtle variations throughout Overall sound may still be a little too impenetrable to some Great use of momentum, some great chugging riffs, atmospheric Some may find their style a little bland Has everything; rock, guitars, romance and much much energy This band disappeared for 15 years :( Great concept The overall production and average songs.We've Come For You All - Anthrax
Lively songs with a great vocal performance and some degree of variation. Suffers from the same groove metal disease as much modern thrash.
Versus The World - Amon Amarth
Great drums and maintenance of the longboat sound. Songs blur together and lack the energy of earlier releases.
Temple Of Shadows - Angra
Well-plotted progressive power metal classic. Deviates from its power metal base significantly by the end.
Nordland Vol.2 - Bathory
Final masterpiece of unrelenting Viking metal, less showy and more atmospheric. Some songs are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
Night At The Opera - Blind Guardian
Prog fans will be happy, and some songs make good use of the new sound. Disappointing change of style resulting in a difficult album to listen to, with few stand-out moment
Forgotten Tales - Blind Guardian
Some great covers and the band's fine acoustic work reproduced. Some less great covers, and overall an unbalanced perspective on the band.
Fistful Of Metal - Anthrax
Brilliant debut, with all you could ask of a high-speed, early thrash album. Lacks discipline, and 'I'm Eighteen' is a bit rubbish.
Aurora Consurgens - Angra
Continues right where 'Temple of Shadows' left off, with the same progressive elements. Over-reliance on slow, emotional numbers that don't really work, and sound badly dated.
Alternative 4 - Anathema
Pleasant mix of doom and atmospheric rock without straying too far from Anathema's roots. Central songs lack individuality, and the whole thing may be too dull for some.
A Twist In The Myth - Blind Guardian
Blind Guardian aren't completely written off yet, and the album may attract new fans. Folk tendencies now work to its disadvantage, as do the other traits left over from the last release
