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.
