Hatemonger - The Vile Maxim (CD)

Release Date: 04/16/21

Death / Grind from Chicago featuring members of Yakuza, November's Doom, Bear Mace, and Pulchta Morte.

Metal website, Invisible Oranges, wrote, 'Comprised of Chicago metal stalwarts Jerome Marshall (Yakuza, ex-Kastasyde), Garry Naples (Novembers Doom, ex-Kastasyde), and John Porada (Pulchra Morte), Hatemonger's immense, lean take on a more intense take on death metal and grindcore is a welcome addition to Chicago's ever-changing scene. Hatemonger quite literally turns the dial all the way and rips it off. In as such, as far as their classic death metal tone is concerned, Hatemonger could clear forests with their sound (and Marshall's vocals sound like an anthropomorphic denizen from deeo within one of the forest's caves). As far as Hatemonger's approach is concerned, there is no fluff to their sound -- Hatemonger is a metal band, and anything which could be attached is secondary.
