I already reviewed the thrash death metal of this Finnish five-pieces and if I’m remember well what we get here is once again some kind of enjoyable (as enough catchy to stay in your mind after a few spins and enough fast paced to delight the fanatics of the genre) thrashing death metal. Scandinavian death thrash metal influenced music is the name of the game here but Retaliate is eventually not that simple to describe though. The music delivered throughout the band’ second demo work is pretty fast although not incredibly violent with some strange (for the genre) almost N.W.O.B.H.M. riffs, and screamed vocal sections. The mixing may at first sounds a little bit disturbing but it also gives Hateform’s music a different approach. It seems to me that this demo has achieved what it set out to do, to prove that Hateform have something different to offer within the usual death thrash limits. Try.
