Classic Death Metal name for a band that comes with a classic Death Metal logo and a more than kick-ass cover artwork. I was damn sure that From Hate Incarnated is a brutal Death Metal album right from the start. The butchers did not disappoint me and deliver an album full of pure Death Metal holocaust.

Ok, just imagine this picture. You open the album's booklet and you come across some guys with the classic "I can kill you with my bare hands look, some MORBID ANGEL and METALLICA t-shirts and some great pictures with stuff like damned souls that are being tortured in hell and stuff like that. Seems too common, but these guys are definitely not a common band.

From Hate Incarnated is an album that will tip the listener with some ass kicking guitar work (these two guitarists surely know how to shred like Death Metal maniacs) and an incredible rhythm section. SPECTRAL MORTUARY have obviously been influenced by the US Death Metal scene, and mostly by great acts like CANNIBAL CORPSE, SUFFOCATION and I can say that they also reminded me slightly of the Polish titans DECAPITATED. The band is mostly based on its catchy riffing and great technique, but I believe this is something you do not hear for the first time.

SPECTRAL MORTUARY show that they have the talent to offer some great stuff to the brutal Death Metal scene. They have managed to avoid mediocrity with From Hate Incarnated album, but they still haven't managed to amaze me. I believe that this is a pretty decent work and with a little more work, they can become a great name in the scene. Die-hard fans can trust them and I believe that they have nothing to lose.
