The band gained wide attention fast, because of their raw burtal sound and they've proved to be very skillful by reaching this level so young. They were not welcome by everyone, because many didn't find them authentic enough because of their young age, and because of a sudden contract with Nuclear Blast, that is like a secret dream of many ambitious extreme metal bands. Maybe their music counted generic in the main scene, but many bands are not able to reach this technical level even after many years of playing. And it's important to not forget, that almost all bands of the old school metal scene have started to play in the same age and got record contract very soon about 2 decades earlier. Hackeyed didn't show up with anything extraordinarily or revolutionary new, but what they did, they have done good. On their debut the touch of the modern sound of metal based on simplicity (new wave of grindcore, deathcore) can be sensed with the influence gory brutal death metal. On the side of the musical features, the vocal style tells about the same by often switching from deep growls to Chris Barnes-like screams or nearly pig squeels. Death metal stayed as a fixed ground, the other style features appeared occasionally like a little bit from everything. That mainly counts as experimenting to find a unified sound, and partly meant to be to try things for fun. Thanks for the high quality production "Death Prevails" sounds quite devastating and entertaining the same time. Recommended for brutal death and gore fans.
