Brazilian acts are just amazing don't you think? Most of the bands I've heard from that country have the "damn that was great" element in their music. Expose Your Hate comes from this exotic country, so for that fact only, you already know they'll deliver something good in their music if you know what I mean; now I'll dig up their debut album called "Hatecult" so, try to focus.

The music presented is straightforward Grindcore, there are some Death Metal approaches here and there but the overall structure screams "Grind your fucking head"; the opening track enters aggressively after a nice intro that is; the beat of this song is fast as hell but still the riffs manage to be catchy and very interesting; actually, the whole album has this kind of vibe, high-speed performance wrapped in groove elements, there are some exceptions of course, for example "Despise OF Animal Life" and the great song called "Appreciate The Dying Planet", both having a different structure featuring mid-paced music and really intricate songwriting.

What I like the most about this band is their "rebel" spirit, their name "Expose Your Hate" fits incredibly well with their revolutionary concept; the whole album is wrapped with rebellious lyrics talking about discomfort and humanity in a really fascinating way. The layout attains the same perception of course, all presented in red you can see images of pollution, war and other cool things that go along the overall theory of this album as well.

"Hatecult" is a good album, it has incredible moments here and there and the message attached is fucking brilliant. The only problem was the repetitive beat in some tunes; while some tracks show originality and strength there are other tracks with a generic overlay which makes them predictable at times. So if you're into Grindcore you'll surely like this album and you'll play it over and over again till your eardrums burst and blood starts dripping from your ears; on the other hand if you are into gay stuff like H.I.M. or if you like poser bands like Nightwish, skip this album?you'll get scared easily.
