| HateFX - The Holy Frail (Green Bird) Review by Steve Green |  | HateFX are one of those bands that remind you of a million other bands, yet at the same time, the way they blend everything together makes them seem kind of unique. A lot of the bands they've played with are geared towards a younger, modern audience, and that's probably where the bands fanbase lies, but there are enough other ingredients, such as Industrial flourishes and a patented US Metal style groove, to keep the more seasoned Metalhead happy. Frontman G, has achieved success in his native Chile with the band Dogma before his move to the US and he seems extremely comfortable behind the mic stand. His style is a fucker to pin down, but I've sort of got him somewhere between the | more melodic style James Hetfield uses these days and the raspier tones of Machine Head's Rob Flynn. And I'd be tempted to thrown Burton C Bell into there somewhere as well. And the music reflects upon this style, with elements of Thrash, Industrial and more straight ahead Metal vying for supremacy.
The Holy Frail isn't exactly groundbreaking, but I cannot help but like it. Good stuff.
