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 bass and Jeff Gardner 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.
