The ultimate Scandinavian thrash-death metal assault
“The Sickness Within” is the pinnacle of the first part of the HateSphere career, and still a killer thrash-death album after all these years. Plenty of razor-sharp guitar riffs, some heavy crushing grooves and a subtle but cool melodic taste are the main ingredients of this brutally exquisite recipe, and truly represent the frantic HateSphere signature sound. The Danish band was lead at that time by the charismatic frontman Jacob Bredhal: his raspy, powerful vocal delivery is one of the highlight of a flawless tracklist. Add a brilliant songwriting and a meaty production and you'll simply get one of the best extreme metal albums of the early 00s. To this day, an unparalleled vulgar display of sickness!
