Vehemency
Rapid, relentless black metal is the name of the game on Massemord’s ten minute EP consisting of two tracks of which the other - ”Masskilling Masshealing” - is an old composition now appearing here again, though this isn’t a problem for me as I don’t have previous knowledge of Massemord with the exception of the most recent full-length released just a couple of days ago.

So, compared to the brooding, droning style that The Madness Tongue Devouring Juices of Livid Hope offered, Notes of Antihate Profound is ten times faster and clearly more in-your-face. Blast beats dominate as do the evil riffs - that unfortunately kind of lack personal touch - and Namtar’s convincingly delivered mid-range screams. ”Cognition of Fear” is at best when given a little space for slower tempo and an interesting lead guitar melody. ”Masskilling Masshealing” starts with an almost punky riff but soon after builds up to the general style of 1349 esque speed chaos with occasional technical elements.

Although in general I enjoy the furiousness that Notes of Antihate Profound provides, and production-wise it all sounds perfectly balanced between full yet rough sound where all the instruments are audible, I can’t say I find anything enough gripping from the two songs; hence I was much more impressed by the innovative ideas that the recent full-length offered. I could assume, though, that this is a must-buy for Massemord fans and most certainly the band seems to know what they are doing. Notes of Antihate Profound is not a bad EP at all - just fairly unsurprising.
