Music review: Haul (Death From Beyond)


Haul have fun again bringing oldschool death metal atmosphere and total abandoning their dark / black hardcore attributes.

Having unloaded pairs of personnel and now remaining only two original personnel, the Hauls who have rarely occupied the stage, in 2016 then gave a mild surprise to show evidence of their existence with the release of EP Death From Beyond.

The entry of new names makes the band that is one of the local black / dark hardcore preservers at first had to change their course. For their old listeners, this may be good news, but it can also be bad.

Death From Beyond will provide a very different atmosphere 180 degrees compared with their first full album. Rima Penghitam Cakrawala is one of the hardcore albums with the best crust bands ever released. But will Death From Beyond retain that title?

With a retreat a few years back, Haul had fun again bringing oldschool death metal atmosphere and total abandoning their dark / black hardcore attributes.

And the total is really making Haul like a new band, not like a band that rose from the dead. Consisting only 2 tracks, namely Death From Beyond and Zombie Ritual (Death cover) released with tape format cassette.

Although the quantity is still fairly low (only consists of 2 tracks, and even then repeated on the B-side), but the quality of each song can not be mediocre. As an opening act, Death From Beyond embarked on a very elegant and creepy track. Music typical of the old deathmetal style of 80s with the theme of death wrapped the new body Haul. A brief analogy of this track is like walking through a creepy ancient temple, perfect for making Death From Beyond its background sound.

The second track at once pamungkas, Haul managed to bring back the song from the old deathmetal band, Death, the Zombie Ritual. Impeccably, Haul barks very noisily on this track, paying his final respects to Chuck Schuldiner.

For the totality of undergoing Haul as the oldschool deathmetal band, Dendry the guitarist adds a strong gore impression by presenting his artwork as an EP cover.

Previously we had agreed, that Haul was reborn with a different identity. Punggawa in it also experienced major changes, and to show his new identity, the name of the personnel listed on the album was changed. Haul is now the Catalyst (vocals), Morbider (guitar), Nekrotorment (guitar), Deadspawn (drums) and Atomic Evil (bass).

The release of this album was handled by Sepulchrum Tapes Collectives in cassette format and released limited, only 100 pieces. The next plan based on the issue will be released in the form of LPs. But the issue is just an issue, the most important is hopefully Haul not only rise, but come back to life by terrorizing each gigs.
