Are You Deep in Love with Deep in Hate?

France’s Deep in Hate clearly exist somewhere on the spectrum — the deathcore spectrum, I mean — but I haven’t entirely decided where they belong on that spectrum. “New Republic,” the song for which they’ve just released a video, is clearly a cut above crap like Winds of Plague and Oceano, but it also didn’t make me run out to pre-order their new album the way singles from bands like The Acacia Strain and Fit For An Autopsy have done. So I thought I’d share the clip with you here, and you could help me decide: how good or bad is this band? Check out “New Republic” below, then share your opinion in our comments section. The song will appear on

Chronicles of Oblivion, which comes out June 3 on Kaotoxin Records.
