DOOMTRIGGER – ANGER (RIVER OF HATE)

Hailing from the scintillating sprawl of Stellenbosch, South Africa, Doomtrigger are a four piece collective that construct Metalcore of the most corrosive, crushing and dark sort. 

Their previous EP, ‘Circles Part One’ was a devastating exercise in dynamic Metalcore influenced by Dante’s Inferno. Folks if you have yet to wrap your ears around said slab of scorching and murderous Metalcore do so and post haste. 

Their latest single entitled ‘Anger (River Of Hate)’ is a blistering slice of bludgeoning Metalcore that will batter you senseless. Bristling with righteous anger and threaded through with bleak lyricism this tumultuous sonic tornado will tear your being asunder. As I understand this is part of Doomtriggers’ second installment of their homage to Dante’s Inferno. Circles Part II dives into the next three circles of hell namely: Greed, Anger and Heresy.

Beginning without pomp or pretence, ‘Anger (River Of Hate)’ surges ahead with a ferocious conflagration of bone-crunching drums, roaring vocals and violent riffs. At about the two minute mark we are sheathed in a melodious chorus that is as infectious as it is arresting.

With lyrics such as “Here the damned will always fight, In this realm of endless night” and “Bodies intertwined in a gasping orgy”, the cynicism and fatalistic verve that informs Doomtriggers’ latest piece of pummeling Metalcore is peppered throughout its runtime with ravenous lyricism single like spent shell casings on a battlefield soaked in blood and entrails. 

This is a vitriolic and impassioned piece of music that will inevitably leave snapped necks, broken kneecaps and burnt synapses in its wake. From what I gleaned whilst listening to this grisly yet glossy slice of merciless Metalcore it is a track that details the horrors of war and the horrors of the human animal. As much as ‘Anger (River Of Hate)’ is a depiction of humanity at its most inhuman it is a smoldering and catchy piece of brain shattering bluster that will ensnare you in its stranglehold in the most striking fashion.
