UMUR
Particular Hatred is the debut release by Polish industrial extreme metal act Iperyt. It´s a 16:38 minute long EP. The EP was released in August 2005 by Agonia Records.
The music on the album is industrial extreme metal. There are elements from both death metal and black metal in the music but ultimately the music can be labelled as neither. The music is very extreme yet cleverly composed and I´m kept on my toes throughout the playing time of this EP. These songs pack so much punch that I simply loose my breath while listening to it. The vocals in particular are caustic and aggressive raw attacks. Seldom have I heard a more hate-filled and powerful vocal delivery. The music sound chaotic yet it is tighty structured, dark and fast-paced. The drums are programmed and meant to be programmed, which means that they suit the music perfectly. The samples that are used in the music really enhance the already dark and unpleasant atmosphere of the music. Other extreme metal acts that incorporate programmed drums like The Axis of Perdition, Void, The Bezerker and especially Control Human Delete come to mind while listening to the EP, but Iperyt have found their own niche already.
The production is powerful and a bit clinical which suits the music well. The drums are just a bit too low in the mix, but that´s a minor complaint.
Particular Hatred has blown me away. It´s one of those releases that impressed me right away and keep doing it every time I listen to it. There´s something vicious and fierce about the way Iperyt sound that is very rare in metal. Sure there are thousands of brutal and aggressive acts out there, but Iperyt understand the difference between being brutal and aggressive for the sake of it and being brutal and aggressive and really sound like you mean it. Needless to say that Iperyt belong to the latter catagory. This is an excellent release and a 4 star rating is fully deserved.
