Hate (Sarcófago album)

Hate is the Third studio album by Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago, released in 1994 through Cogumelo Records. It has a more stripped-down approach than their previous record,The Laws of Scourge (1991).

Hate is also notable for its controversial use of a drum machine, which was used because there were no drummers who could play as fast as the band wished. The band was trying to be the fastest band in the world.

Lamounier claimed to have no qualms about using this device, on the basis that most death metal drummers use trigger pads for recording purposes, which in the end produces the same homogenized sound as that of a drum machine.

The song "Satanic Terrorism" is about the 'Inner Circle' church burnings in Norway at the beginning of the 90s; Sarcófago was accused of supporting these acts, but Lamounier claims that the song only describes the acts.

Phrase

In everyday speech, a phrase may be any group of words, often carrying a special idiomatic meaning; in this sense it is roughly synonymous with expression. In linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words (or possibly a single word) that functions as a constituent in the syntax of a sentence—a single unit within a grammatical hierarchy. A phrase appears within a clause, although it is also possible for a phrase to be a clause or to contain a clause within it.

Common and technical use

There is a difference between the common use of the term phrase and its technical use in linguistics. In common usage, a phrase is usually a group of words with some special idiomatic meaning or other significance, such as "all rights reserved", "economical with the truth", "kick the bucket", and the like. It may be a euphemism, a saying or proverb, a fixed expression, a figure of speech, etc.

In grammatical analysis, particularly in theories of syntax, a phrase is any group of words, or sometimes a single word, which plays a particular role within the grammatical structure of a sentence. It does not have to have any special meaning or significance, or even exist anywhere outside of the sentence being analyzed, but it must function there as a complete grammatical unit. For example, in the sentence Yesterday I saw an orange bird with a white neck, the words an orange bird with a white neck form what is called a noun phrase, or a determiner phrase in some theories, which functions as the object of the sentence.

Overall it's a well-rounded set of songs from a respected artist who has been there." Alex Caldwell, assigning the album four and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "Exhale ... portray[s] an honest journey of faith and doubt, of hope and pain." Giving the album four stars by Michael Weaver from Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "Exhale is an exceptional album worthy of your attention." In a four star review by New Release Tuesday, Jonathan J. Francesco describes, "this album is a rewarding and roaring success, combining passionate vocals, lyrics, melodies, and music into a tight and accessible package." Writing a 4.1 star review for FDRMX, Joe Frazier states, "Exhale ... beautifully reflects His loving us in our worst state while having done all of the work to move us to a redeemed state". Rating the album a ten out of ten for Cross Rhythms, Tim Holden writes, "There really are no weak tracks here and it is very easy to be drawn into the emotions of every one of them and taken up with the honest and uplifting lyrics. A must have album."
