Background information about 'Hate, Fear & Power'
Eight tracks. Under twenty minutes. That is the entire pitch for "Hate, Fear & Power", and honestly, it is all Hirax needs. Recorded in 1986 with drummer Eric Brecht of D.R.I. behind the kit, this sophomore slab takes everything that made "Raging Violence" such a jolt and pushes the tempo even harder, sharper, meaner. Back in print for the first time in nearly two decades, it lands exactly where it belongs: on a turntable, loud.
What makes this record such a landmark is how effortlessly it welds thrash metal to hardcore punk, long before that crossover became a marketing category. Katon W. De Pena's high-pitched, glass-shattering wail sits on top of riffs that never sit still, and the songwriting is tighter and more furious than anything the band had done before. The whole thing is over before you have finished your coffee, and that is precisely the point. Short, relentless, direct, no filler, no ballads, no mercy. It is often name-dropped as a cult classic, and one spin explains why: this is the sound of a band that understood that speed is a weapon, not a gimmick.
For fans of: D.R.I., Slayer, Repulsion, Exodus, Cryptic Slaughter, Municipal Waste
