Title

Compassion Fatigue
Ingredients: Two Parts Warrior Soul, One Part Queen Adreena, One Part Drunk, One part rock and roll disaster in waiting. This is the formula which brings together Hate Gallery who present us with the bands debut album Compassion Fatigue, a true smack you in the face taste of rock n roll oblivion.

With two members of Warrior Soul in Janne Jarvis and Rille Lundell this is perhaps out first glimpse at what we might here when there the Soul kick out there new album, but don't confused that fact with Hate Gallery being a mere taster of what is to come. This is fast, face smashing rock n roll, that the band accept confronts those things in the world which the band despise, without being as political as perhaps some bands we could mention in the past.

This is all about experience, about smacking the shit out of a rock and roll song, and living on the edge.

With twin guitars, and this total fuck you attitude, Hate Gallery are taking rock n roll back down well worn paths, but perhaps ones that have become overgrown. It's short, to the point, and has no bullshit. It is what it is.

That's it.

Want a track to try? Go for the opener - The Idiots - it'll kick your ass, and then have you asking for more.

And although this album is only just dropping now, the band are already talking up the fact they'd like to release "three records within a year".

Rock n Roll lives on, breathes deep, and then spits in your eye when you enter the Hate Gallery.
