I
have used to receive quality releases from I Hate Records
in the era of doom metal. When i received the package with
the re-release debut album from Mayhemic Truth and
i read that they play Viking metal i didn't expected that.
But it is always a good surprise to hear something different
from a label that specializes in a specific metal genre. Besides
this album released in 1999 i expected to have a better production
but if you see that their main influence is Bathory,
then i can understand why they have this production. Anyway
if i didn't stay at the production their music is definitely
in the side of Viking metal, with a lot of epic metal elements
and of course clean and black metal vocals. Because this is
a re-release the label put as a bonus material the "Promotape
1994". I am sure that all the fans of Viking metal
and of course Bathory will adore the stuff from
Mayhemic Truth. Just a note is that Mayhemic Truth
has change their name to Morrigan.
