UMUR
"Helvede" (featuring the subtitle "Music Defining Hatred 1992-1995") is a compilation album release by Danish death metal act Illdisposed. The compilation was released through RRS in 1995. It bridges the gap between Illdisposed´s second- and third full-length studio albums "Submit" (1995) and "There's Something Rotten... in the State of Denmark" (1997). "Helvede" features all material from the 1992 "The Winter of Our Discontempt" demo, all material from the 1993 demo/promo "Soulstorm", and three unreleased tracks ("Withering Teardrops", "Instrumental", and "Die Kingdom").

Considering that this is predominantly a compilation featuring demo material, the quality is relatively high. Illdisposed released some quality material early in their career and this compilation shows the great development Illdisposed went through from the early death-doom tinged death metal of "The Winter of Our Discontempt", to the all-out brutal and faster-paced "Soulstorm", to the three unreleased tracks which were recorded during 1994/1995 showing the diversity of Illdisposed.

"Helvede" is a compilation well worth the price of admission. If you´re fan of early Illdisposed but have only listened to the studio albums, these recordings will fill some of the gaps of your knowledge and understanding of the development of Illdisposed. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
