HASTE
"Pursuit
in the Face of Consequence" (Century Media; 1999)
Reviewed by Snidermann
Haste is as hard working a metal band as I have seen in a while. Their CD, "Pursuit in the Face of Consequence" (you have to say the title out loud to get the full effect) is 11 songs and 40+ minutes of blistering, in your face, hellbent metal.
Haste is a six person band as opposed to the customary three or four, and that means two full time guitars and two full time vocals which combine to make for a very interesting ride.
Sometimes the vocals seem to grate on the nerves a bit, but after a while you realize the screeching vocals are all part of the fun.
Overall, a talented and killer band!
Haste is Kelly Reaves and Chris Mesley on vocals, Jason Burns and Nicolas Burnsen on guitars, Brandon Thrasher on bass and Jeff Gardner on drums.
Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
