No one combines death and black metal quite like Poland’s HATE. With unflinching viciousness and a sense of atmosphere unique to the band, on Rugia, their twelfth full-length, they push the boundaries of their craft even further. “It was clear to me that it should build upon and evolve from our previous record, ‘Auric Gates Of Veles’ (2019), both musically and lyrically. However, every Hate record stands as a separate journey, and never twice to the same place. You never know exactly where it will lead you,” states vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner, who has led the band since 1991. Fresh blood in the band’s line-up also helped contribute to Rugia‘s unique sound. Pavulon (drums), who had played with the band since 2014, was forced to step down from the band due to serious health issues. The band tapped Nar-Sil (Neolith, Virgin Snatch, Embrional) to take his place. “Working with a new drummer this time around was a fascinating experience for me. Nar-Sil’s technique and presence are quite different from Pavulon’s, and that definitely comes across. I believe we managed to construct a refreshing new chapter to our discography, composing nine truly sinister onslaughts of pure rage.”

The band elected to once again track the album in the Hertz Recording Studio in Poland, and it was recorded, mixed and mastered by the Wiesłaski Brothers (Behemoth, Decapitated). Everything was laid down over about two to three weeks, with longtime collaborator Michał Staczkun providing the ambient elements of the band’s sound. The only struggle came about at the mixing stage, where the final character of the record emerges. “Here we encountered many problems, contradictory visions too. The producers had their own idea for the overall sound, which differed from what I had in mind, so we were trying to find a good compromise and it took us a few months.” Given how strongly the personality of the record shines through, it is safe to say that the compromise reached was definitely in its best interest, standing as perhaps the best sounding record in the band’s long career. Hate is also celebrating thirty years of activity with Rugia, Sinner affirming he is as driven as ever. “Well, the fire is still burning! I’m proud that I have built a band with such strong energy, that’s lasted for a long time in spite of numerous line-up changes and obstacles in our way. We are still here and we create with ever growing consciousness and dedication. The energy speaks through us. Honestly, I think of the band as something much bigger and more profound than the individual people involved in it over any given period of time. I believe we create a channel for energies that surpass us.”

WORMWOOD
COUNTRY: SWEDEN
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.

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS - New Album Title and Cover Art revealed!

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS
COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: BLACK DEATH METAL


DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS RETURN TO LIFEFORCE RECORDS. NEW ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER 2017.
[2017.06.12]

Formed in the year 2000 as a studio project and then as a regular live-band six years later, DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS from Poland is a dominant Black Death metal band that’s quickly pummeling through the genre and making their way to fans and media around the globe.

After already having released their 2012 third studio album “Simulacra” with Lifeforce Records we are very happy to welcome back DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS to the Lifeforce Records roster for the release of their new album “The I”, which is set to come out in late September.

“I’m thrilled to work with Devilish Impressions again to hopefully push the band to the next level. The guys in the band are dedicated hard workers. They know exactly what they want, what is needed to reach their goal and their new album is very big step forward musically. I truly believe we can turn some heads with “The I”! - comments Lifeforce Records owner Stefan Lüedicke.

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

In 2016, DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS joins the elite roster of New York based EXTREME MANAGEMENT GROUP alongside notable bands such as SUFFOCATION, CATTLE DECAPITATION, ORIGIN, CRYPTOPSY, ATHEIST, RINGS OF SATURN, KING PARROT, INTERNAL BLEEDING and many more. With the newfound partnership, both sides will work together in making the band’s future endeavors the most prominent and impactful with their fans respectively and the rest of the metal genre.
