Extreme underground black metal from Chile. HADOTOR comes from the northern coastal city of Iquique and is somewhat unique in that it doesn’t deliver the typical anti-Christian rhetoric that many hateful black metal bands crank out but rather attacks pre-Christian Judaism which when taken logically delivered the roots of Christianity so why not just nip it in the bud before it ever gets to maturity! This band formed in 1997 and even though technically still active has only released a full length and this EP titled EXTREMISMO A ZION which obviously delivers a hatred for the current state of Zionism and how it has infiltrate the entire planet.

This EP of only about sixteen minutes features vocalist Johnny Magallanes, Patricio Magallanes, guitarist Óscar Pinto and drummer Vitas Constandinis. The tracks are short with only two over three minutes and the album is like a cross between second wave Darkthrone black metal and crust punk. The band exercises extreme bombast with super fast tempos, buzzsaw guitars and the old school second wave black metal characteristics such as blastbeats and a vile hatred for just about anything that moves it sounds like! Comparable to some of the fastest second wave black metal bands like Dissection, Satyricon or Taake, HADOTOR imbues itself in a kvlt black metal purity that will appeal to those who loathe the hybridization effect that black metal has ventured into in the ensuing decades.

It’s a competent release with all the musicians on fire delivering a machine gun percussive drive, the blurred distinction between buzzsaw guitars and bass bombast and a frenetically raspy screaming typical of the old school second wave playbook. Nothing new or original here in the least and the unintelligible lyrics are presented in the Spanish language. The EP ends as quickly as it begins and delivers a rampaging set of six tracks that pretty much hit like a lightning bolt and then shoulder off into who knows where. Overall a nice delivery of energetic black metal but about as generic as it gets in term of originality. Probably one of those bands that’s shocking to see live especially if hateful diatribe is inserted between tracks in a live performance. Why hate one religion when you can hate em all i always say. It’s about time Judaism got as much hatred in black metal as Christianity. Oy vey!
