An early highlight is "Dust Chains Idiots" which like most other tracks is insanely fast and repetitive but features some memorable darkling melodies played on both guitars and synths that establish a deep trancey state while Hildolf wails away in that horrible sickly scarecrow voice. The rhythms change from fast to mid-paced martial though sometimes it's hard to make out the drumming because the bass is very deep, distorted and monstrous in sound; it's easy to think that there is far more happening here than there actually is.
Hildolf does not sing quite so much here. For lightning-fast, almost out-of-control tremolo guitar-picking, you're directed to "Honor is Ash" but if synth-generated tones of a sorrowing celestial choir gone mad from plummeting into the deepest pits of Hell from the vaults of Heaven are to your liking, "Uncontrollable Despair" should be your first stop.
Probably the most memorable riffs are on the mid-paced "Lonely Corners of Existence" which is a less anarchic track than the rest, with synths very sickly and nauseous in tone. The whole album though can leave you feeling unsteady and ready to throw up. I do have to say that when you first hear this album it can sound monotonous and repetitive and the pace is relentless but if you are interested in noisy and chaotic black metal that sounds like someone in a mental asylum made it, this recording would really suit you.
The keyboards are very disorienting and give the music a psychotic edge. The guitars can be really deep and fuzzy especially on "Dust Chains Idiot" where they sound like a thundering downpour of noise in the background. Repeated listenings if you can stand them! A really pitiless scourging experience sure to wreck your ear-drums with its gravelly texture, this is not for the faint-hearted. The production is muddy which adds to the pain and despair. Pictures on the CD sleeve which include two death masks and a disembowelled cadaver can be pretty horrible - but nowhere near as horrible as the singing, I can assure you!
The only weak spot I can find with this album is the drumming which is quite low in the mix and not nearly as aggressive as it should be with this kind of music. And this debut full length, which clocks at around 55 minutes is truly a demonstration of the real potential american black metal bands do have in that sub-genre, which seems to be exploding nowadays. This album "From Which Hatred Grows" has its ups and downs. Considering the fact that mostly this type of BM is consumed as a whole, and that track by track is sort of useless, i will review it as a whole Let me start by saying that the guitar work is a bit over mediocre.
Hildolf's experience as a guitarist oozes throughout the album, not only putting some decent and sometimes amazingly memorable riffs, but doing so in the solo department as well, which is something im quite sure is very scarce in this type of BM.
The bass is almost inaudible except in some brief calm parts.
