Otherwise the guitar work uses post-hardcore accents to add to the otherworldly atmosphere. The angular riffing style, the soloing and Mêlki’s more melodic inclinations are heavily informed by latter-day Death and Immolation circa “Here In After” and "Failures For Gods", respectively. The prominent use of dissonant, atonal riffing clearly takes a page from the book of Tom Wilkinson-era Immolation, while the songstructures recall pre-“Decimate Christendom” Incantation. It could very well have been a long-lost Immolation or Mithras record, for that matter.īrood Of Hatred’s key influences are as obvious as they are American. “Skinless Agony” does not in the least reflect that Brood Of Hatred is a third world act. Brood Of Hatred exudes the kind of professionalism that often takes bands many years to attain. Having faced every possible setback and delay imagineable from being unable to enlist properly trained musicians, locating a studio facility that could, and knew how to, handle the music, and the additional difficulty of not having a cultural support system to help promote such endeavors “Skinless Agony” is testament to the will of its founding member.
The creative force behind Brood Of Hatred is vocalist/bass guitarist Mohamed Mêlki. Slickly produced with stunning visuals, and with proper backing from its Norwegian label partner Crime Records AS, “Skinless Agony” might very well be the first and best African death metal record. Tunisian death metal band Brood Of Hatred - who don’t take quite as much after Suffocation as much as their name would suggest - uses Kurzweil’s prediction as the conceptual basis for its debut. It’s a fascinating theory that seemingly becomes more of a premonition as our reliance in technology increases every year. Ray Kurzweil’s theory of singularity posits that by 2045 artificial intelligence will surpass humanity in knowledge. If nothing else, "Skinless Agony" could very well be the standard to which all Tunisian metal from this point forward is measured. Making it all even better is that Brood Of Hatred sounds nothing like you'd expect given their moniker. "Skinless Agony" is a monumental record that could've come from any of the genre's greats. Of all the Tunisian bands that were able to get their music internationally released, Brood Of Hatred is by far the most professional. Brood Of Hatred hails from the capital city of Tunis and has been active since 2010, releasing the locally distributed "New Order Of Intelligence" EP prior to this full length debut outing. The country has a small but dedicated underground and its bands span a variety of genres. The Republic of Tunisia isn't much of a presence on the global metal map.
