MASTER – an epiphany of hate – CD

Death Metal – Hammerheart Records

The Motörhead of Death Metal delivers a vicious Old School Death Metal attack with 2016’s “An Epiphany of Hate”! Master, a.k.a. the Motörhead of Death Metal, gave us another viscous death metal offering in 2016. They have mastered what it means to produce high octane, ear drum bursting, unrelenting Death Metal. With a discography one can’t count on two hands, they have rarely skipped a beat in producing the fast paced brutality we all so love and enjoy, and “Epiphany of Hate” is no exception. Between the pounding drums, merciless riffing, and, of course, Speckmann’s wonderfully hideous vocals, “Epiphany of Hate” does nothing short of furiously, sodomizing your mind. The ten tracks on the album almost blur together in the speed that they are thrown at the listener, and after a near 45 minute state of pure blasphemous bliss. Speckmann knows his audience well, and no Master fan is expecting progression or senseless technicality. “Epiphany of Hate” delivers the reliable Master Death/Thrash sound that we all expected, and this is exactly why Master remains such a loved group to this day
