Review:

This is a Polish band that have seen the begining of their scene as it was formed in 1990 when the Polish and the East European Extreme Metal scene was just starting to take form. They were active in the '90's but disbanded at the end of the decade. Psycho Records (or Wydawnictwo Muzyczne Psycho) decided to re-release the band's third demo on CD adding a few more goodies on this multimedia CD like pics and a live gig of the band from '92. Musically speaking Hazael, despite their Black Metal-like name, is old-school Death Metal strongly influenced by the Swedish Death Metal scene in its primitive/incipient stage. Mostly fast paced, it has it fair share of mid-tempo parts highlighted by a great combination of Swedish-like guitar leads and guitar solos. Very good music for that period (1992), I'm surprised the band didn't make it outside of Polish borders, and the sound is acceptable as well, it kept its demo tape feeling. If you're into old-school Swedish Death make sure to check this release out, it's well worthy of your few bucks.
