All Shall Perish - Hate, Malice, Revenge


Hate, Malice, Revenge is a good example of how to do deathcore right. All Shall Perish didn't do pretty much anything new with the genre when they released this back in 2003 but the result was an extremely solid metal album.

This album brings standard yet very well executed death metal riffing balanced very well with the gratuitous breakdowns the genre is known for. They manage to avoid the pitfall most deathcore bands seem to dive face first into, which is throwing out breakdowns however they can, whenever they can, with aggressive and powerful riffs blending smoothly into crushing breakdowns.
To help to keep things flowing All Shall Perish make use of catchy melodies most evident on songs like Laid to Rest and Our Own Grave, with Craig Betits highly varied and powerful vocal style suiting it perfectly.

This album was followed by The Price of Existence ( 2006 ) which took things in an even more melodic direction, and Awaken the Dreamers ( 2008 ) which is one of the worst and more pretentious albums I've ever heard.

Anyhow, check it out on mediafire
