Fuck yeah, baby, that's the stuff. I don't know what up with these guys, but their death metal breaks the speed of sound and leave fighter jets in the dust. Yeah, if that wasn't obvious, Cryptic Hatred are insanely fast on this album. Does anyone come out alive of their live shows' mosh pits? Doubtful. It's not all about speed, though, with the occasional use of creepy-sounding keyboards and more melodic and much slower passages—though it doesn't take much time before they set out to break more speed records. The crunchy, razor-sharp riffs are absolutely infectious, and the growls are top-notch, right there with the best of them. One hell of a fun album when you need to let off some steam.
