LP Review: "Of Rot and Ruin" by Hath

Of Rot and Ruin

Today we've got one of those bands that's got the ability to do more than one thing.

There are millions of bands that are able to do one thing extremely well, and some bands (like Slayer) are able to carve out a very nice career for themselves doing it.

Then there are others (like Metallica) who are able to do more than just one style. This gives their career path a trajectory that simpler bands cannot match.

To be nice and clear, Hath, will never find themselves on the same stage as Metallica, much less on the same level, because, Black Metal, but what if a black metal (or blackened death metal if you want to be ever so specific) had a different attitude?

Hath services their songs instead of servicing their genre. Right now, minds are blowing. Hell, it kind of blew my mind a little bit.

How many metal bands service their songs first? Certainly, not nearly enough of them. It's far more common to check off boxes than it is to write amazing tracks. Hath's debut will be heavy enough for anyone and melodic enough for a few people who wouldn't have gotten in otherwise.

Don't miss it.
