REVIEW: EIGHT OF SPADES - Driven by Hate

 


EIGHT OF SPADES - Driven by Hate


Pervade Productions / Manitou Music


With a name like EIGHT OF SPADES, one might expect a certain influence—indeed, their sound reflects a mix rooted in classic heavy metal. Over recent years, France has produced a variety of compelling metal bands, and EIGHT OF SPADES broadens this landscape by incorporating elements from other genres of extreme sound.


Centered around a MOTORHEAD-inspired foundation, EIGHT OF SPADES blends thrash metal with punk and hardcore influences. These elements are particularly evident in the vocalist's delivery, which leans toward a raw, aggressive style characteristic of punk/hardcore vocals. Driven by Hate delivers a high-speed, rock ‘n’ roll attitude, aiming to energize listeners and evoke a sense of rebellious partying.



The album does not seek to reinvent the wheel or introduce groundbreaking innovations. Instead, it offers straightforward, passionate music designed to make you headbang and release some steam. While the sound may not align perfectly with my personal preferences, I found the album to be an enjoyable listen. For fans who appreciate metal infused with a gritty, rock ‘n’ roll spirit, this release is likely to resonate and provide a good time.
