Dogmate - Hate (2014)
Over the course of Hate, Dogmate
effectively evoke a swampier, doomier version of grunge's heyday.
Gnarly riffs, crunchy break-downs, and rebel yells fill the album,
with hints of death and thrash bubbling beneath the hard stoner rock
surface, and the band keeps a wild-eyed intensity up through each of
the songs. Though most of the songs blend into each other, some
snappy guitar and drum flourishes help keep it jumping along. There
are a few times when it veers dangerously close to the sound of
nu-metal, but most of the times it seems as though they're about to fall
into that trap, they swerve off into something else. Those with
sensitive consitutions may wish to exercise caution in consumption (particularly with the rock ballad closing track),
but if you're looking for some unabashed hard grooves, Dogmate does a
respectable job of providing what you want.
