On their Deity Down Records debut "Blasphemous Deliverance" Holland's Hatred is part (early) Gorefest, part (early) Vader and part Monstrosity. Taking the blunt force approach of Gorefest mixed with the no-holds-barred ethics of Vader and the technical prowess of Monstrosity "Blasphemous Deliverance" is a record that at once sounds familiar yet feels fresh due to the band's excellent ideas in what works in this genre and what doesn't. Despite playing mostly mid-paced and lacking interesting lead work Hatred is able to keep their material interesting with a good sense of dynamics and a nearly constant pumping groove. Structurally, this leans towards "False" era Gorefest with the intensity of "De Profundis" era Vader and "In Dark Purity" era Monstrosity as far as hooks and general technicality is concerned. Vocally, Hatred is a bit on the one-dimensional side and more adventurous vocal lines would be beneficial for future material. Recordings were done at Excess Studios, Rotterdam and this gives the album the expected high end production values that this genre needs. Artwork, design and lay-out are functional but not entirely visually stimulating or remarkable in any significant way. Deity Down Records has added another strong unit to their roster, although it must be noted that Hatred isn't as technically accomplished as their peers in Devious or Vermin.
