Reviews

ABLAZE IN HATRED - DECEPTIVE AWARENESS - FIREBOX  
Death, doom or dark, whichever the brand of metal best attached to Ablaze In Hatred’s debut Deceptive Awareness, the best word to tag to the Finns is'despair.' Despite the presence of keyboards courtesy of the band’s singer Mika Ikonen and a thankfully departed session player the album keeps the synthesized fakery at bay (and moreover has no female moaning at all) to deliver music that could be described as a cross between My Dying Bride of yore and the funeral doom of bands like Disembowelment and Thergothon.
On the mostly slow passages, deep growls ride with massive chords played to the tune of reverbed mourning. Long songs and short tempers tow a mass of doom on par with the world’s darkest and most wretched troubles. Not for the easily persuaded, depressed or despondent Ablaze In Hatred is memorable to those who survive past multiple listens. Slit the wrist anyway. It might be worth it. - Ali “The Metallian”
