An anonymous band from Portugal delivering some relentless raging Black/Thrash Metal with a sharp grinding edge, that’s what Hate Propaganda is all about. Back in 2019 they released their one and only EP on cassette tape by War Arts Records. Sentient Ruin Laboratories thought the material was good enough for a 10” vinyl release, which saw the day by the end of 2022.
Titles like ‘Neverending Mass Graves’ and ‘Welcoming The Nuclear War With Open Arms’ may already reveal what we are dealing with: little subtlety. The music presented on this EP clocks just under 20 minutes and is interspersed with several samples, but for the most part it is just downright ugly, grinding Black/Thrash Metal. Do not expect any nice grooving Black/Thrash Metal in the vein of Aura Noir or anything that sounds remotely melodic. In fact, this is so much closer to the blistering Death Metal infused chaos of bands like Archgoat, Abysmal Lord and Proclamation than to the more melodic or swining fashion of Desaster, Gospel Of The Horns or Deströyer 666. Its pounding nature and relentless suffocating atmosphere is definitely not for the faint of heart and you should not be averse to a good dose of chaos and brutality to be able to enjoy this. If you consider yourself a seasoned fan of all things extreme, you should consider giving ‘World War 666’ a chance.
