HATING LIFE - Revenge From Beyond
Release Date: February 27th, 2026
Pulverised Records
Hating Life is a new old-school death metal project from Sani of death metal band Ataraxy. The music starting coming together after playing his Gibson Les Paul through a HM-2 pedal that is a must have for this style of death metal. Both stylistically and the band name itself is inspired by Swedish death metal greats such as Grave. About this obvious comparison Sani states, "You can call it a tribute or a declaration of intent. The first GRAVE material was and remains a clear exponent, among many others, of the kind of death metal that truly motivated me to compose the tracks for this.” Santi handles all the instruments for this release and is aided by fellow Ataraxy band member, Javi, to take care of the lyrics and vocals. "Revenge From Beyond" was recorded both in Sani's home studio and practice spot. He also handled the other production aspects of the release as well. The band setout to write music that in the vein of what inspires them, both new and old. Mostly, just for a love of the genre.
"Revenge From Beyond" has a somber beginning with, "Into The Grave". A desolate piano sets an ominous tone that perhaps is echoing off the walls of blackened catacombs. The melodious nature of the album's introduction doesn't resemble what's to come on, "The Eternal Embrace". Disgustingly pleasing in its tone and style, the track encompasses everything Sani set out to do. Raw-like in its being and saturated in a deathly form that will appease those seeking transport to more pure times of death metal. "A Somber Night" shrouds the listener in depressive auras. A slow-moving trek into darkness before momentarily gaining momentum half-way though the song. Eventually it settles though like a shocking aftermath from some violent brutality that left us senseless. Next, "Rebellion Against The Vile" is a bombardment of down-tuned savagery. Attacking ruthlessly, yet combining some slower aspects that were present earlier. Images are readily conjured of the dead rising through muddied broken ground. Foul and wretched, clambering to the surface for fleshy subsistence. The title track, "Revenge From Beyond" carries itself with a punkish attitude combined with a wonderfully revolting death metal personality, purposefully basic in construction and fierce in delivery. Powerful and determined, Hating Life capture the musical essence they sought. Over far too soon, the final album track, "The Sense Of Fear" sends the listener out with an accumulation of all the sounds Hating Life possess. Fury is merged with a decelerated brutality creating an interesting listen. Diversity in ideas allow this band to command attention while also harboring enough cruelty to make us appreciate their sound more, Great release!
