What do
we have here, Horror Metal? Well this sounds familiar being a fan of Death
Metal, what’s the difference? Well for starters, this isn’t Death Metal, it’s
more of a Melodic Thrash style with Cannibal
Corpse style lyrics except a bit more frightening and real. See from the
beginning, where Cannibal Corpse
display the act of killing and kind of try way to hard and make it funny, Bleed
put you in the conscience of the killer. Almost make you feel bad, you can
picture it all happening, but you can’t do anything about it.

our bass intro to Canadian band Bleed’s
album “The Hatred Inside,” the build
up of the title song instrumental can almost make you feel the build of the
hatred of a killer. The real opening track “Deceiver” gets us started off kindly, pushing you right off the
cliff into the mind of a man who knows he should be locked away. The real
pleasure of this album is it demonstrates every instrument, all instruments are
audible at all times without making the sound overwhelming and on top of that
you have the narrative of vocalist Robert Kreed to take you on a story
through this man’s mind and pain. This song is also the home off a sweet bass
solo, the kind of bass solo that will make every bassist.... in their pants.
“Murder Baby” a few song down from where
we started takes a different idea, the instrumentals are more of a Slayer
style, speedy Thrash Metal but with a more Gwar
mixed with Rob Zombie style of
lyrics and vocals. The chorus is literally just “fuck and kill and hate and
rape and plant the seeds of Murder Baby.” The idea of listing exactly what
horrors this thing breeds is more of a Gwar
thing, but come on it’s called “Murder
Baby” tell me that doesn’t sound like a Rob Zombie kind of song. Honorable mention, the next song “Xombimind” sounds a lot like Slipknot’s “Before I Forget” instrumentally.
From
Canada, we have Bleed and their
album “The Hatred Inside,” this is
an album of horror, and slight hilarity if you have a fucked up mind in songs
like “Murder Baby.” They don’t stray
away from showing off their influences and they write some awesome in depth and
intriguing lyrics, it’s definitely an album and Thrash fan should have in their
collection.
