Song review

The song "Aesthetics of Hate" by the heavy metal band, Machine Head, is a song responding to an article written about the late Dimebag Darrel, a guitar player who was shot on stage in 2004.  The article stated that Dimebag deserved to die and that the world is a much better place without him.  Upon reading the article, Machine Head frontman and primary songwriter, Rob Flynn, was infuriated and wrote a fast-paced and angry song condemning him for writing the article.

The song begins with a slow-paced clean guitar, following with three minutes of verses    and choruses.  A riff at the end of the chorus begins an interlude that progresses into many different parts leading into the main guitar solo section.  Vocals are reintroduced and the song builds up to a quiet and angry section where the lead singer is whispering in an infuriating manner into the microphone.  The song slowly break apart into guitar feedback, thus ending the song.

Overall, the song follows the phases of anger in humans, where the anger builds up, peaks and explodes and slowly dies down into a somber mood.  The song and the lyrics closely resemble each other, as the lyrics are meant to show rage and frustration and the music backs it up.
