REVIEW: HASTE - WHEN REASON SLEEPS

 

HASTE - WHEN REASON SLEEPS (Century Media - 2001): Powerful second album from this Alabama sextet. The music is a mix of metal and hardcore with great results. The strange thing with this band is the constant use of two vocalist…one growling and the other one highpitched. Songs like "Meridian Summer", "Confessions of a Lesser Known Saint and others are really like a kick in your head. This band is really powerful and has the atributes to be one of the top bands in the style of bands like Rage Against the Machine (in fact Haste is much more powerful than this band). It is great also the use of clean vocals in some tracks that give some strange melodies to the songs. It will be interesting to see how this band will evolve in the future.
