### The Project Hate MCMXCIX: When we are done, your flesh will be ours

#### 25/08/06 || Statik Majik

What the fuck… no one bothered to review this masterpiece of an album yet? Where is this world going to? Straight to hell, I tell you. And while we’re on our way there, what better music would there be for this joyride than something from The Project Hate?

Before I proceed with this review, I must apologize right now for the length of this rant. I couldn’t write short reviews about releases from this band even if my life would depend on it. I mean this IS my favourite band after all. And I’m more than chuffed about each and everyone of their albums. There, now that we got that one sorted, let’s continue, shall we…?

So, this is the second album from these Swedish godhaters and it was released… well, a “few” years ago. Although I’m not sure how many people are lucky enough to own this very disc. You see, there’s a reason why this ended up to be the last album released by the infamous (M)assacre Records. So, if you ever wanna listen to this record, I’d recommend checking the internet first. Lord (K) knows that it’s nearly impossible to find it from the regular record stores.

This christ-raping release happens to have a kick ass production that pales in comparison only to its follow up, “Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate”. I shit you not. Mieszko Talarczyk definitely had his shit together. Each and every song here is a full on sonic assault. Massive fucken guitars are all over the place. I’m sure Kenth Philipson’s Jackson guitar has only one setting and it’s “attack mode”. Pretty much like Jörgen Sandström’s throat. You can imagine the impact it has when these two are combined in order to deliver some anti-religious messages. Not even the beautiful and tempting voice of Mia Ståhl manages to soften the impact. Her voice does give an illusion of serenity, but what it really does it just strengthens the effect of Mr. Sandströms demonic voice. As intended, I’m sure.

The only reason why this album didn’t have that great an impact on me as their debut cd did is the sole fact that this time I was prepared. It softened the blow. Not that it was much of a help anyway since an album this powerful doesn’t settle for giving you a small bump to the head. No, it hits you like a sledgehammer instead.

The songs are kick ass material and most of them clock in around 7 minutes. For a band like this it’s acceptable. There’s so much stuff happening in the background that it’s merely impossible to fit ‘em into shorter songs. There’s jungle beats, keyboards, heavy ass riffs, slow parts, fast parts, double bass drums, enchanting singing, impressive growls, you name it. And the list goes on and on and we still managed to only scratch the surface. If I didn’t manage to describe it well enough, I’d suggest paying a quick visit to their website and downloading any of the tracks they have to offer.

The only not so impressive song is the slowest track on the album, “Believing is bleeding”... Honestly, I don’t know why I don’t like it that much, because it sure as hell ain’t the fact that it’s slow. The slow ending tracks on the following studio albums are absolutely killer, but there’s just something on this song that makes it sound like… I don’t know, misplaced maybe…? That’s probably it, it doesn’t feel like The Project Hate-track at all. But that’s really the only downside to this album, otherwise I’m enjoying this release. If you ask what would be my favourite from this disc, I’d say “In sickness and in hell”. That song itself is well worth a 10. It has each and every aspect I love and adore about this band. Each millisecond of this song is more than perfectly delivered, pure fuckin’ hatred. That’s how impressive this tune is.

Lyricwise, The Project Hate is all about the hatred towards Christ and the whores who live by the rules of christianity. As if the titles of the tracks wouldn’t reveal that. So yes, there’s definitely enough Satan here. And that’s the way good metal should be delivered if you ask me.

Depending on my mood and how much time has passed since the latest spin I gave this cd, the score would be anything between 8,5 and 9. But since TPH has released two even better albums after this, and I gave a 9 to the follow up to “When we are done…”, I’d say it’s fair to give this fucker the score you see below. After all, of all the studio albums this band has released, it’s my least favourite. “When we are done…” is also the only TPH album that happens to have a song I don’t like that much. And even then I consider it to be one of the best cd’s I own. That’s exactly how good stuff this band delivers. Seriously, the best word to describe the musicianship of this band is “professional”.

Simple as that.

8,5 /10.
