HATE frontman Atf Sinner comments:
“Well here it is, the first visual to our new album, "The Auric Gates of Veles," for the song “Sovereign Sanctity.” We feel the video and the song together pass a story that at once conveys our message universally and yet is full of details and symbolism that tell a deeper story. So instead of me telling you about it, I’ll present it to you all with no preface. Just a quick thanks before we start to Błażej Jankowiak and 9LITERFILMY for the massive work done bringing our united vision to life.”

Produced by 9LITER FILMY | Filmed by Błażej Jankowiak | http://www.9literfilmy.pl | https://www.facebook.com/9literfilmy

Since 1991, HATE have lived up to their name, responsible for some of the angriest and most ruthless death metal unleashed upon the world. With 2017's Tremendum, they took a step toward a darker, more atmospheric, black metal-oriented style and began exploring Slavonic mysticism, and new album "Auric Gates Of Veles" boldly continues in that direction.

"We wanted to go deeper into the subject, both musically and lyrically," asserts vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner. "We also wanted to record a sharper and better defined rhythm section, a more death metal-oriented one. When it comes to guitar sound, it was meant to be a wall of sonic destruction with dark ambient elements in the background." To say that they achieved that which they set out to create is an understatement, for "Auric Gates Of Veles" is a titanic record that is both more organic and dynamic sounding, and may well be the finest of their storied career.


The new album will come out in the following formats
-jewelcase-CD
-limited edition digipak-CD (EU exclusive - includes 2 bonus tracks)
-180g black vinyl (EU exclusive)
-slate blue marbled vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 300 copies)

GENRE: MELODIC BLACK METAL



REVEAL MORE DETAILS ON THE NEW ALBUM "NATTARVET"!
[2019.05.06]

The Swedish melodic black metal force of nature WORMWOOD have revealed today further details on the new album entitled "Nattarvet", that will be released by the Swedish label Black Lodge Records on the 26th of July!



The band comments: "The time is nigh, time to announce a new chapter for us.
After many cold and windy nights, blistering days, through endless blizzards and reflections in the deep forest, the time is here.
Our new album "Nattarvet" will be released in 26/7 under the strong and powerful banner of Black Lodge.

With formable reputation, shared vision and a deep yearning to deliver immaculate products, Black Lodge and WORMWOOD is the perfect team.

We both believe that "Nattarvet" will become an album people remember for decades and because of this mutual understanding, Black Lodge is more than perfect for us."

WORMWOOD will be releasing the first video of the album, "The Isolationist" at June 1st so stay tuned!

Meanwhile waiting check out the small "Nattarvet" teaser/presentation for the Black Lodge label new signing, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZxApdY9Xws



WORMWOOD 'NATTARVET' Tracklist:
01 - Av Lie och Börda
02 - I Bottenlös Ävja
03 - Arctic Light
04 - The Achromatic Road
05 - Sunnas Hädanfärd
06 - Tvehunger
07 - The Isolationist

Compared to 'Ghostlands', our upcoming album "Nattarvet" will be darker. There will be stories about famine and how it ravished the Swedish landscapes in the late 1800-hundreds. Some families fled to new more fertile grounds, others were not so lucky. They had to bury their family members, eat crumbles and watch how their childhood home wither and fade away into obscurity.

So join WORMWOOD again as we embark on a journey together.

A film that came out with a big effort under the heat of a relentless sun, we found our stage lost in the middle of untamed nature where the ruins of a desecrated convent were the exact reflection of our story-driven song from our debut album Automata.
