The Memo 

Released in 2014, Jagerbomb was the second release by Hate Field, and the first release for Hate Filed as a full-member band! as Hate Field's first release "Scary Fairy Tale" was done only by the band's founder/composer Alfi Hayati. 


The release consisted of five originals + 1 cover. Starting with "Jagerbomb" which is a strong/dynamic start for the EP. The mood of the track is somehow very colorful, you can imagine the colors of the cover art before your eyes. The magical mix of synths with highly dynamic active guitar tunes! It is like drowning inside a maze of thoughts and this scripted highly in wandering between harsh and clean vocals. 




The second one was "Kalkbreit" which is a name of the city or station :D, you can distinguish that through the intro. -My favorite track-. It is very cheerful track especially while repeating "Kalkbreit" (try to club your hands guys 😄😄😄😄😄).

"Praha" the best headbanging track in the EP, even its symphonic sounds full your ears with power, and energy. I hope if Hate Field read this memo answer my sick question! the recorded Praha, or the one attached in the EP is different from the one performed live! actually the Live is more energetic, and I think the language is different. WHY? (It is just a sick question from a fan). 




"Laura" is the best example for a hybrid Mediterranean track. Its riffs, synths, and accordion sounds highly influenced with the Eastern Mediterranean smell, and taste of this salty fresh air + GUYS enjoy with the oriental part in the song! Also the song is somehow different from the one is posted as a teaser! 






"Angels Gone Wild" is one of the most known track for Hate Field, and it is the only original from "Jagerbomb" that has acoustic version. It is very cheerful, happy, dynamic one, it is highly symbolic track, even its lyrics are somehow strange :D I asked the band to send me its lyrics two years ago! and the lyrics is beautiful and strange. look at the killing rhythmic words.

"Justify the Reason, 

Dreaming is a Treason 

blamed from ABOVE!"

The final song track in the EP was a magical, magnificent cover for "Add Reality" by Dan Swano, the band just choose a certain part from the original song, 

"When we share the silence she knows what I am saying 
words though unspoken are changing heart 
2000 days have now passed since I met you
and of so many only 400 alone"
In my point of view, the cover is beautiful as the original. IDK, It touched me deeply, sometime I play it while running in the streets in early morning, and let myself enjoy with this beautiful piece. but sometimes it makes me cry :):):) 

Anyway for better enjoyment check the acoustic version by Hate Field. It is more magnificent!

Yesterday, I announced a new review will be provided through my blog "Egypt's Metal Reviewer" and its sister project "The Metal Sister" which is The Dark Knight Memos. This service is a fast, and quick review service for Single, and EP releases. 

Due to the massive requests of reviews I receive from Europe, Asia, and Africa, I established this quick service to provide the bands with my opinion directly, and into the point without going deep into very very detailed details, to save my time in writing, to write the biggest number of reviews in a short time, and to save your time as readers!

I preferred to start this new service with re-reviewing one of my favorite releases "Jagerbomb" by the Egyptian Industrial Symphonic Metal band Hate Field. Today, I am celebrating with the 4th anniversary of my review for Jagerbomb, and it was one of the my earliest Metal reviews in my career. It was published on the great, prestigious Rock Era Magazine.

The Metal Divas: Female Metal Voices Around the World VII

As we are celebrating our comeback I think that it will be great to check a new part from our The Metal Divas series. This part is full of power with slight changes in our format to be easier to follow!     Adrastea (Greece ) A great voice shining from the lands of Hera and Zeus, Adrastea is rocking the Greek Metal Scene with her band Entropy Devine.  We  started with Adrastea by asking her about how she started her career.  "   I have been singing since I can remember myself. I was always a rocker so I remember I would always find a way to secretly sneak into music related activities.  I was not allowed to learn music, cause, you know  I am a woman and I should do all that society expects from a woman and nothing more.)  So I figured creative ways of doing so as a part of my Rock 'N Roll rebellion while  growing up,"  she answered. Next, we asked her about how she met her band mates.   " From an ad in search
