THE BEAST

        The Balearic Islands of Spain may not be the first place you think of for heavy metal, let alone death metal. These are a trio islands famed for their thumping trance and binge drinking Brits. Hardly the perfect breeding ground for old-school death metal. Yet one band who are thriving here are Deathpath who are back with their second studio album ‘Hate Within’.

                What the listener gets immediately here is a kick in the face from a band which have grown up eating old-school death metal. There are no gimmicks here, no frills. ‘Hate Within’ knows what it wants to do and Deathpath do this well. There are thrashing riffs and guitar solos which compliment the sound well whilst the drums provide that rhythmic pounding guaranteed to make the neck wrench. This means that through tracks such as ‘Butcher – Fresh Meat’, ‘Purify’ and ‘Coward Left to Die’, Deathpath show that they’ve got all the chops of Master and Malevolent Creation whilst also being able to slow it down and get gnarly in the style of Obituary.

                Yet, ‘Hate Within’ can get quite repetitive and this is arguably down to the cookie cutter, cookie monster vocals which grunt away and not only does it get a little tiring, but it can also get irritating especially when those squeals reach a higher register. However, if you can stomach the vocals, the music is more than decent, and any fan of old-school death metal will be able to lap ‘Hate Within’ up. Metal Digest
