Hatred Inherit return with a vengeance on Void, their second full-length release and a fierce statement of survival after the loss of their debut during the pandemic chaos. Clocking in just under 31 minutes, Void delivers an unrelenting slab of technically sharp, emotionally scorched death metal — fast, tight, and devastating in all the right ways.
Rooted in the legacy of bands like Morbid Angel, Malevolent Creation, and Immolation, Hatred Inherit don’t reinvent the wheel — instead, they refine it to a deadly edge. The sound is dense and punishing, driven by writhing tremolo riffs, seismic drums, and guttural vocals that feel both primal and precise. There’s a focus here, a discipline — Void is executed with surgical precision, yet never loses its soul.
“Shrine” opens the record with ferocity, a barrage of dissonant guitars and relentlessly shifting drums that set the tone for the devastation to come. The band wastes no time — each track is built for impact, and none outstay their welcome. “Feeding The Abyss” digs deeper into atmosphere, lacing its complexity with menace, while Frederico’s vocals rumble like an ominous force beneath the surface.
“Violated” ratchets up the chaos with twitching, angular riffs and explosive momentum — a furious, compact burst of violence. It’s followed by the slow, grinding “Deathmarch,” which leans into a more death-doom territory. The tempo drops, but the intensity doesn’t. Drummer Kai delivers crushing blows with mechanical precision, while the low-end booms like the sound of concrete splitting under pressure.
“New Gods” hits with renewed speed and tension, layering eerie dissonance over tight, hammering rhythms. The song feels like a storm of collapsing belief — a theme carried throughout the album’s lyrical undercurrent. The production deserves praise here: every instrument is clear without sounding sterile, especially the bass, handled by session player Nils Stadtmann, which adds a thick, brooding foundation throughout.
The sixth track, “Fading From Within,” feels like a turning point — slower, more spacious, and emotionally bleak. There’s a cold beauty beneath the brutality, as the band pulls back just slightly to explore a deeper kind of despair. The instrumental “Hatred” then acts as a bleak pause, eerie and atmospheric, allowing the listener to breathe — if only briefly — before the final descent.
And that descent is “Weak,” the longest and perhaps most harrowing track on Void. It begins with haunting restraint before exploding into a layered, guttural crescendo of despair. There’s a real sense of collapse here, not just musically but emotionally. It’s not just a closing track — it feels like an exorcism.
Despite its brevity, Void never feels incomplete. Every song contributes to the whole. The production strikes the right balance between clarity and grit, and the performances are locked-in and confident without ever being showy. Lyrically, the album draws from themes of inner rot, spiritual disintegration, and existential exhaustion — and the music reflects this collapse with unflinching intensity.
Hatred Inherit have not only rebounded from loss — they’ve come back with purpose. Void is more than just a second album. It’s a declaration of survival and devotion to death metal’s essence. Unapologetically dark, fiercely focused, and driven by genuine urgency, this is a release that won’t just be heard — it will be felt.
