The band plays a fast, aggressive style of black metal that would go on to be more 'polished' in later releases. But on Frühlingserwachen, the sound is still quite gritty and raw, despite decent production values, and works well with its subject matter of WWI & WWII (with some anti-religious sentiments thrown in for good measure). The band leans into this theme with vocalist Iblis credited for "propaganda" and drummer Mayhemic Destructor as "artillery," a fitting description for the drums on the album.
Offensive, blood- chilling, straightforward black metal. The third and final chapter of trilogy including "Sowing with Salt" & "Justice". The first HATE FOREST album with live drums. Limited edition Digipack CD to the first run, booklet 8 page full colours, sealed.
Special reissue of the cult classic debut EP from Celestia. Original version released in 1999 on Drakkar Productions. Comes with one studio bonus track recorded during the same session.
Musikalisch gesehen ist "Ecce Homo" eine interessante und eingängige Platte von melodischen bis aggressive Black-Metal mit einer leichten progressiven Schnittkante versehen.
