60/100
Wim S.: Deathtale is a band from Austria that was
founded in 2008 by drummer Thomas Krautner, after the the split up of the
band Demolition. With 'The Origin Of Hate' the band is releasing its
third studio album. Will this album make the band more successful than they
have been so far? I'm afraid not.
It is simply not good
enough. Especially singer Patrick Pieler is an annoying factor. This is
typically someone who wants to play in a metal band but because he cannot
play an instrument, he has started singing. Well, he cannot do that either.
What a howler he is, terrible. But then of the superficial kind. Nonstop the
same trick with your voice: roar, roar and roar again. Roar to roar.
Terrible. The riffs generally sound pretty good, although I do not hear
any original riff passing by. What makes the band stand out are the tight
drum patterns of band leader Krautner and the often beautiful guitar
solos of the two guitarists Gehring and Rezaie. Melodic, fast and really
adding something to the music. You do not hear that too often. The song
material is quite average; I miss outliers in a positive way. No, with this
album the band cannot cross the border.
