Yes, with their debut record Designed To Dislike, Danish thrasher gents, haunting under a pitch black flag, cause some furor. Contrary to the album title
PITCHBLACK gets loved everywhere, receiving raving reviews. Id say they at least are candidates for the title newcomer of the year 2007.
Designed To Dislike downright explodes right from the beginning, unleashing pure energy upon the listener. Modern Thrash aggressions get twisted with unobstrusive death
metal elements and classic old school Thrash. In between singer Danlhjel ranges with his alternating voice. He screams and shouts, growls and also comes up with wonderful clean singing. Per se a
varied matter. But his craftmen dont fall any bit short: highspeed thrashing parts, grooving monster riffing (Black Holocaust - killer song! - and Angelized), a suprising acoustic
interlude in the middle of the record (A New Era), solos, some samples and wonderful melody arrangements. All these things can be found on Designed To Dislike
without acting overloaded or planless.
Though I have to confess that PICHTBLACK dont add anything new to this genre, they just range in known fields. The mix jazzes up the record but the most striking thing is the high
level of energy that immediately catches the listener and the fun these guys have while playing. Designed To Dislike makes lotsa fun!
