Herald of Triumph

At just under 17 minutes, this EP is on the short side, but does it ever pack a lot of punch. Very speedy blasting blackened death with powerful harsh vocals plaster this baby from beginning to end. The speedier guitar parts remind me a little bit of Marduk at times and Hate Manifesto can certainly be likened to the second-wave Swedish and Norwegian blasting black metal bands in terms of speed and sheer savagery. Four songs that will make it feel like you were just run over by a train. Sometimes this kind of speedy insanity is just what you need to relax after a long work day.
