BLACK ALTAR BIOGRAPHY

Anno Bastardi 1996

In the darkest abyss of chaos where time and space are impenetrable, Black Altar came into existence. It took its earthly shape during blasphemous Sabbath in the Night of Walpurgia Anno Bastardi 1996, when it was summoned by the voice of Shadow. He, as the first guardian of Black Altar, have started an unholy crusade, thus awaking fear and pain among the hypocritical and hideous christian lambs.

The first stroke into their rotten system of values was a demo entitled "Na Uroczysku..." (On a secret place..) which gained a recognition among several groups of listeners. It was recorded by Shadow in 1997 at Selani Studio with the help of Doc (RIP), Vader's drummer, in the role of a music engineer.

In September 2003 at Selani Studio Black Altar recorded their debut album entitled "Black Altar". It was a great improvement in the development of the band.

HATE - NEW ALBUM "BELLUM REGIIS" DETAILS REVEALED!
[2024.12.30]

Mighty Polish blackened death cultists HATE have revealed details on the new album entitled "Bellum Regiis" that should be out via Metal Blade Records in Spring 2025!

Perun V. aka ATF Sinner reveals some details:
"Greetings everybody!!! As you already know, we have been diligently putting the finishing touches on the release of our upcoming record, Bellum Regiis. Recording wrapped up a while back and production this time around was handled by David Castillo (Candlemass, Carcass, Dark Tranquility, Katatonia et alii) up north in Stockholm's Studio Grondahl. He did a tremendous job and the results will speak for themselves soon!
With the year drawing to an end, I wanted to share a few details. Bellum Regiis, which roughly translates to "A War of Royalty" or "A War of Kings" is an album centered around the human relationship with authority and our desire to control. When are we most ourselves? When we are with power or standing up against it? How does that figure into our relationship with the world around us? Can we truly distance ourselves from the fate nature has in store for us? Over the course of nine songs, we sink our teeth into those questions from many viewpoints. I won't give away all of the album's secrets in advance but we delve into our past and present, mythologies (mostly Slavic and Greek) and history, in order to try and divine what the future may bring.
Bellum Regiis will see us continuing our work with Metal Blade Records and is slated for a Spring 2025 release. The first single from the album will be "Iphigenia," and without saying too much, I will advise you to look her up. It's an interesting story and it will tell you a lot about the themes of our coming record. Look out for the single on the 25th of March. As you might expect, 2025 will be a year in full speed ahead for HATE. We will be touring extensively in support of Bellum Regiis and are planning on leaving no stone unturned. So until then, farewell and raise the glass for the New Year!"
