âIn short, they go hard… the track goes from zero to âholy shitâ in no time at all.â â MetalSucks
MetalSucks is hosting the exclusive premiere of âShackled Humanity,â by Swedish hardcore/thrash quartet HATCHEND. The new song marks the second single from the bandâs debut album, Summer Of â69, nearing release on August 23rd through Selfmadegod Records.
HATCHEND is an unrelenting act containing members of well-known extreme underground death metal and grindcore acts such as Birdflesh, Deranged, Razorrape, Deathening, and more, uniting drummer Rikard Wermén, guitarist, Elis Edin Markskog, bassist Dan Bengtsson, and vocalist Kalle Nimhagen. Without the implementation of gimmicks, makeup, or bullshit stage show, HATCHENDâs straightforward and in-your-face output is custom made for the shackled masses. Living by the slogan, âIf itâs too fast, youâre too damn slow,â they are a band who might destroy themselves before ever selling out.
HATCHENDâs Summer Of â69 was recorded in two days at HoboRec, with the vocals recorded at Wheelmust Studios by Elis Edin Markskog, the record then mixed and mastered by Ulf Blomberg. The record was completed with cover artwork and layout by Rikard Wermén and Elis Edin Markskog and photography by Abdul Alhazred, and the opening song âShackled Humanityâ features a guest solo by Leon De Muerte (Phobia, Murder Construct, ex-Intronaut).
With the âShackled Humanityâ single, drummer Rikard Wermén states, âIâve said before and will probably say it again. You know that black eternal void you feel in your stomach? Itâs like a wild beast you just need to tame as youâre scared to death what would happen if you let it loose. Youâre falling deep into your own personal abyss of darkness and thereâs⦠No return. We tried to transform that feeling into music, and âShackled Humanityâ came close.â
MetalSucks writes, âIn short, they go hard. From the relentless riffs and thundering bass to the rapid fire drums and abyssal vocals, itâs hard to imagine a universe where âShackled Humanityâ wouldnât reduce a venue full of metalheads into an gnashing gyre of stomping fists and banging heads. For a little over three straight minutes, the track goes from zero to âholy shitâ in no time at all.â
