HATE - RELEASE TODAY "BELLUM REGIIS" NEW ALBUM!
[2025.05.02]

Slavic black/death metal titans HATE have released their thirteenth album entitled "Bellum Regiis", out now via Metal Blade Records.

Perun V. aka ATF Sinner comments:
"Hey Everybody! Our new album, BELLUM REGIIS, is with all of you as of today. It truly is a labor of dedication and not a single detail was glossed over in its making. We have not had such a large gap between albums since our second ever outing, 1998's Lord Is Avenger. This is because Bellum Regiis sits atop a wealth of ideas and was built to represent all of them. Both musically and lyrically. Both sonically and visually. From the first notes of the title track to the last stings of "Ageless Harp of Devilry" - nothing is there without thought and intent. With that in mind, when we saw the response of those close to us and the early reviews started flowing in, we were (and still are!) incredibly proud to see how strongly the album spoke for itself. So let's let it do just that. We will be back to discuss the inspirations, themes, and tracks in more depth, but for now - Thank you and hope you enjoy BELLUM REGIIS."

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."

Hence the album title, which translates to "A War Of Royalty" or "A War Of Kings" The bands frontman looks at the hard questions surrounding power does its attainment make us aberrant or are we aberrant to begin with?

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."

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."
