In the middle there are the bands for which…

Third full-length for the Veneto-Friulian Chronic Hate, a death metal band active since 2001 and which, like many others, sediments its sound with fire and flames on the stages of the national underground, with a death metal deeply rooted in the Nineties and tutelary deities who respond to the names of Morbid Angel, Monstrosity, Sinister of the first hour, with a certain quid to Dismember in some situations.
