This opus magnum blends the raw spirit of Quorthon's black metal with the intricate minimalism of contemporary composers such as Philip Glass, György Ligeti, and Avro Pärt. Its eclectic nature is elevated and underlined by select guest performances, including the vocals of Saara Nevalainen, as well as the avant-garde black metal luminaries Yusaf Vicotnik Parvez (DHG/DØDHEIMSGARD), and ORANSSI PAZUZU's Juho Vanhanen

Bold!

o facto é que o tema de avanço tem ali um riff venenoso...

HATE - "BELLUM REGIIS" PRE-ORDERS AND MUSIC VIDEO REVEALED!
[2025.03.25]

Slavic black/death metal institution HATE will release their "Bellum Regiis" full-length on May 2nd on Metal Blade Records.

In advance of the release, today the band unveils their first single, "Iphigenia." Sinner elaborates, "in Greek mythology, Iphigenia was the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, and a princess of Mycenae. The music came first in this case, but there was an immediate need to fill with content and the story of Iphigenia seemed to connect with it beautifully. It’s a story about sacrificing your life for a greater cause. But the example of Iphigenia is striking because she at one point is given a choice and can save her own life, yet she decides to be put to death and in this way help support the Greek side in the Trojan War. It’s a story of sacrifice which would, all the way since the days of Aeschylus and Euripides, divide an audience of listeners. Is it monstrous of her father to be willing to sacrifice her due to the pressure of his generals? To appease Artemis? Is it then heroic or brainwashed that she would sacrifice herself for her people’s cause?"

With a dozen ferocious and lauded albums since 1996′s Daemon Qui Fecit Terra, HATE‘s lucky thirteenth album, "Bellum Regiis", sees the unrelenting Polish quartet forging a bolder and more aggressive style than ever. "Bellum Regiis" nine songs see vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner, guitarist Domin, drummer Nar-Sil, and bassist Tiermes honing a modern sound rife with eerie atmosphere and depth. Produced by David Castillo (Candlemass, Carcass, Dark Tranquillity, Katatonia) at Stockholm’s Grondahl Studio, "Bellum Regiis" is lyrically a more “humanity focused and personal” album than 2021′s "Rugia" while its songs are timely aural and visual exploration of, according to the vocalist, “a struggle for power and everything that comes with it.”

Formed in Warsaw in 1990, HATE has been hailed as a “hallmark of consistency” and praised as a “sleek and tight death metal monster.” Since 2017′s Tremendum, the band has focused on nature and its mysteries as a main source of inspiration. As Sinner explains, “whether that’s the nature within us, around us, or that we see from afar, the perspectives gained and how they relate to different overarching themes have driven each album.” Where 2019′s "Auric Gates Of Veles" focused on death, the Slavic perception of death in particular, "Bellum Regiis" finds HATE delving into “humanity and why are we, as creatures, so deeply motivated by concepts like power, wealth, glory, and faith. The main theme is a struggle for power and everything that comes with it.”

Hence the album title, which translates to “A War Of Royalty” or “A War Of Kings.” The band’s frontman looks at the hard questions surrounding power – does its attainment make us aberrant or are we aberrant to begin with? The title track encompasses the LP’s leitmotif. “As a song, "Bellum Regiis" has both a deep melancholy and a sense of grandeur,” he says. “The vocals laid down by [renowned singer and voice teacher who runs a holistic arts center in Bialystok] Eliza Sacharczuk give the song a strong sense of time. Whether that’s nostalgia, reminiscence, regret, or preparation for the future is in the eye of the beholder. These wars, these struggles, have been ongoing since the dawn of our existence. Whether they are futile or not, they are scars on our very nature.”

Fans may notice some commonality between "Erebos" and "Bellum Regiis" in the character of the compositions and overall sound, with "Bellum Regiis" being richer in style and with more black metal elements to it. “Between female vocals, orchestration, samples, and acoustic guitars, there are a lot of moving pieces that help set this album apart,” notes Sinner. “My vocals have also changed quite a bit over the years. They’re more nuanced and wider-ranging, able to portray emotions and meanings in a more powerful way.”

Dear friends and fans all over the world, with great sadness we have to inform you that our beloved friend, charismatic frontman and one of a kind vocalist Dirk Schröder has passed away.

We are still processing what has happend as Dirk was not just a bandmate to us, but a dear friend. Besides his larger than life personality, Dirk had a heart of gold and was very protective towards the people he cared about, even at the expense of his own wellbeing. He will be deeply missed by all of us. But while mourning his loss, we should also cherish the memory of him and all the things he has accomplished, all the joy he has given, his music, his legacy... May he never be forgotten!

R.I.P. Dirk Schröder (1967 - 2025)

Muito triste isso.
Ele é um grande nome na história do heavy metal, deixou sua marca nos álbuns da banda, que vai durar pra sempre.
Gratidão eterna, muita paz pra ele onde quer que esteja.

Tema de avanço de My Dementia

‘Gloom’s Light’ is the first single from the debut studio album "Premonição: só me arrependo do que não vivi", by the Portuguese Death/Doom newcomers My Dementia.

A must-hear for fans of old-school British doom pioneers — now with a fresh stench of sorrow.
This record has some quite of a story behind. Tragically, the frontman Miguel has passed away during the mixing sessions and never got his work finished. The production of the album was finished later on by the rest of the band members, including his younger brother Vasco. This album now stands as a tribute to his life and work, immortalizing his voice and artistry. Miguel’s spirit will live on forever in this work — in every note and in every lived and unlived memory: "In the deep of the abyss / The past of an unlived life / A future that hurts even more / Nothing to live for / A soul rotting / In a pending life".

The frontcover artwork for the album is also revealed and shows a mask that Miguel was using for his treatments.

Epah tirando a produção que por vezes deixa um estranho "sabor a plastico" isto até nem está mauzinho.....fiquei com alguma curiosidade para ouvir o resto.

Também gostei. Não notei o sabor mas eu não tenho um ouvido tão longamente trabalhado quanto o teu

Pedi esse CD ao Nuno quando vi anunciado e gostei do que li sobre o album, mas não ouvi nada.
Quando o receber vamos ver como soa, de quando em vez gosto de fazer umas coisas destas.
