Raging Speedhorn

The Hate Song

Label: ZZT Release Date: 24/06/2002

oappleby by Ollie Appleby June 27th, 2002

"I HATE YOU ALL"

And they do. They hate everyone who comes to their shows, everyone who buys their records, and everyone who watches their 5 minute paid interview advertisement on K! TV. That's why it's great.

Another thug-metal assault from the 'Horn then? yes, but this time it's not an epic soundscape pain-story in the style of last single 'The Gush', it's more a series of short, solid pummelling blows to the head and neck. 'The Hate Song' is Raging Speedhorn's 2 minute pop song, or at least it would be, if it was even 2 minutes long.

"THIS SONG IS FOR YOU"

In an age of boyband-metal and wuss-rock, a set of ugly, dirty and loud men seems like something of a refreshing breeze, one that will make all efforts to play football with your head for sure, but refreshingly so none the less. Guitars, drums and 2 men shouting, metal distilled down to it's primal elements, riffs and power, don't try and resist, the best you can do is try and roll with the punch.

"I HATE YOU ALL, FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME"
