Crucial warning. Lock up the bleach and laundry detergents, and put away all the long chords and sharp knives. You'll be looking for a way out after hearing this release, so proceed with caution... 'Cus these guys are totally sick. I can't even figure out if they've taken too many meds or not enough before recording the album.
Hatred-drenched riffs and bone-crushing drums keep pushing you back into some black abject shithole - where it smells like gonorrhea, humiliation and Max Cavalera's hair - forcing you to enjoy your stay down there. Just like this album evokes more than one feeling of total depravity; the browbeating music cannot be classified in one defined genre. This abhorrent mix of black, doom, sludge and noise is just sickening. The raging black metal parts are dominating though, blasting ones brains out with the sole purpose of raping the skull. The infusion of the other genres serves as a subtle reminder of how utterly wretched, miserable and despicable your life is.
As you might have guessed, the production isn't too crystal-clear either. Hatred For Mankind sounds like it was recorded in the ruins of a mass murder house - and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was... because it probably is. For that reason the already malignant vocals sound possibly even rawer. The maniacs behind Dragged Into Sunlight are certainly not of this world. The only signs of human sounding voices are in the numerous - by times even annoying - samples, talking about misanthropy... so yeah, the weak-stomached lose yet again.
Pretty sure that time you were spitting black blood when seeing that disfigured body floating by the river on the same day your dog disappeared in the wood chipper right after you accidentally found your sister's dildo, is less disturbing than sitting through this album in one whole listen. Oh and btw, you disgust me.

Dragged Into Sunlight is one of my favorites, even though they only have a couple of releases. DIS is a blackened sludge metal/death metal band from the U.K. The band was very underground. They have had a big cult following since this release, but now they are getting more popular. They are headlining a U.S. tour and just killed it at 2016's Maryland Deathfest! The identity of the members are unknown, but these guys are pretty talented! I've been listening to this album over and over for about a year, and I still think it is a masterpiece. Read more ›› |

This sounds like a potentially disturbing listen ( the cover art being beyond weird and repulsive), I'm definitely going to check what these fucked up people sound like. And I enjoyed reading the review "...you accidentally found your sister's dildo..." I laughed my ass of off reading this

Written by Mikyz on 13.04.2010 at 19:11 At first I thought this is another review of Lucas cuz' he always gets the best looking albums but apparently this time Thryce got lucky. This one is more interesting than good-looking, though. Nice review but I ain't going to listen to this album. Might be too raw and/or disturbing.

I'll have to run to the Dollar Store later and buy some corpse paint to wear for my first listen.

Sounds more DM than BM to me, but it definitely does draw from a number of influences. There's BM, DM, sludge and more thrown in the mix. Great sick stuff, I'm enjoying this.

The cover art looks like 3 KKK members delivering a baby. Deserves a listen just for that.

Sounds like shit, especially vocals. And it's much closer to Death than Black Metal.

Primarily death metal this one with some black and doom thrown in. but a great little ditty nonetheless.

Good record, I would agree that its more death metal than anything else. I generally wouldn't find stuff like this appealing, but for some reason I like it. It's sick, dirty and awesome. Good review as well.

The funny thing is that the name of the band suggest wouldn't suggest this "shithole" however the name of the album give a little twist to that, oh and about the review it just hurt my feelings, specially that last sentence. Thank you.

Black, Death and Sludge... Is this similar to Alkerdeel in any way?

I Listened to this at the time it was released and revisited it a couple of days ago along their latest release, great material for sure, greatly explained by the review, specially the part about the smell of Max Cavalera's hair. I have to add that I didn't like it the first time I listened it, but now I find it so much better!
