ALL SHALL PERISH "Hate. Malice. Revenge" /CD/

All Shall Perish's debut, "Hate, Malice, Revenge," was originally released in 2003 on a tiny Japanese label called Amputated Vein. Yes, it is rather convenient timing on Nuclear Blast's part to re-release the album in 2005, when modern heavy metal was peaking in popularity. But the fact of the matter is this isn't metalcore; this is deathcore, darn it!
All Shall Perish is here to take over the world!! This five-piece "melodic hardcore death-metal" band from Oakland, California have a very fresh and very unique sound. This band is extremely talented and are deadset on reaching their goal to become the first band to really cross over in the hardcore and deathmetal scenes. By blending melodic "Swedish-style" deathmetal riffs with ultra brutal, dancefloor clearing breakdowns and the occassional technical metal guitar part, along with dueling "guttural" and "screaming" vocals, an intricate mix is created that is groove-inducing yet it ignites the flames of anger deep inside the souls of any listener.
