HATE
COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: DEATH BLACK METAL
ALBUM TITLE: BELLUM REGIIS
RELEASE YEAR : 2025
LABEL: METAL BLADE RECORDS

"BELLUM REGIIS"  DETAILS:

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.”

GAEREA
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: CATHARTIC BLACK METAL
ALBUM TITLE: COMA :
RELEASE YEAR: 2024
LABEL: SEASON OF MIST


["Coma" Artwork by Nathan Lorenzana]

"COMA" DETAILS:

Cathartic black metal outfit GAEREA have just announced details about their new album "Coma" scheduled to be released on the 25th of October 2024 via Season of Mist!

GAEREA arrived shrouded in mystery. The masked sensations emerged from pandemic limbo with a vision for black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. Existential dread still pulses through the Portuguese band's blood, but their upcoming fourth album signals a shift in psychology.

With "Coma",GAEREA are no longer strictly a black metal band. Instead, they're breaking to the forefront of extreme metal. Though their new album was produced by trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, it broadens the band's signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. There are more moments of intense beauty, but they only heighten the ensuing blows.

The world may be as hopeless as the album's lead single declares. But with "Coma", GAEREA have returned to prove that they are only the band who can guide us into the darkness.

Behind black shrouds of obscurity and desolation, the performers of GAEREA deliver their odes in cascading maelstroms of aggression and beauty. Emerging from the age of pandemic to whatever awaits humanity next, the dark horde remains on the frontlines of the next generation of extreme metal. With an EP and three albums to their name, GAEREA has rapidly distinguished themselves from the thousands of bands toiling away in the underground. Brewing their cauldron of sound from a recipe of pounding black-metal blast mixed with a touch of harrowed, reflective longing, many devotees of the darkened arts have flocked to their banner. With the emergence of third full-length album Mirage, those numbers certainly grew.

GAEREA met a challenge when releasing their second album during the pandemic, the aptly titled Limbo, to excellent world reception. In the meantime, they found the total suspension of interactive life as it was previously known to be the perfect breeding ground for further creation and making.

Sizzling with ambition from day one, GAEREA may present one unique face to their audience, masked and enshrouded, but the truth is they have not remained changeless.

As their previous album name Mirage suggests, the inability to trust what our senses are telling us could be construed as one of the album’s central themes. Rather than constrict their art to mythological references or anti-religious tropes, GAEREA instead plumb the depths of the human experiences of isolation and suffering.

Just two years since Mirage was released, GAEREA is here, erupting with intensity, casting forth black ashes over the world yet again.

Their latest release, Coma, has finally surfaced, marking a pivotal shift. From this point forward, everything changes. It's time for GAEREA to bridge the gap between underground metal and the elevated realm they've attained. With Coma, GAEREA emerges from the underground scene, ascending towards a permanently lasting position at the head of the table.

An emotional gateway to a dark black metal scene, a guide to salvation, pain, despair and letting go. Moving up, into the blackness that is above. GAEREA is the answer, the only answer.

Within "Coma's" ten tracks lies an individual narrative, each with its own tale to unveil. Collectively, they blend nuances of aggression, tranquility, solitude, and fervor.

Boasting a superior production that threads the needle between caustic and clarity, GAEREA yet again admit their loyalty to producer Miguel Tereso of Demigod Recordings for the production of Coma. Together they created the birth of "Coma", the new era for metal mankind. Distinguishing themselves ever more so, the Vortex handpicked their artist Nathan Lorenzana with a clear assignment to create their mesmerizing cover artwork. Months of hand drawing the image with a ballpen lead to this masterpiece which dipped his name into ‘Coma’.

The beauty of GAEREA lies in the directness and simplicity found within their florid tapestry of extremity and aggression. Whether it is in the less-polished aural dynamite of Mirage, or in the lustrous textures of Coma, GAEREA is building a mighty edifice of metal. With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, GAEREA is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

ZORNHEYM
COUNTRY: SWEDEN
GENRE: SYMPHONIC EXTREME METAL
ALBUM TITLE: THE ZORNHEIM SLEEP EXPERIMENT
RELEASE YEAR : 2022
LABEL: NOBLE DEMON RECORDS
REVIEW N.P.H. - RATE 10+1/10 - [ READ IT ]



"THE ZORNHEIM SLEEP EXPERIMENT" DETAILS!

Symphonic Extreme Metallers ZORNHEYM "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" will be released October 22nd via Noble Demon Records.

Stockholm's ZORNHEYM have announced their worldwide signing with Germany's powerhouse label Noble Demon for the release of the band's sophomore album, entitled "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment".

Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn, who was determined to shake up the traditional "metal-meets-symphony" approach after leaving iconic black metallers Dark Funeral, ZORNHEYM quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and narrative driven concept revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. The band's critically acclaimed debut album, "Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns" opened the doors of the asylum in 2017, introducing the terrifying concept and gruesome characters within. Four years later and featuring 10 new tracks of powerful, cinematic and mesmerizing symphonic extreme metal, ZORNHEYM's upcoming album picks up where they left off, inviting the listener on a distracting journey, straight into the depths of the asylum! Once again, ZORNHEYM create their very own wall of sound by using a real choir and a string quartet and bring the story to life in a graphic novel that accompanies and expands upon the stories behind the album!

In support of the new full-length record, ZORNHEYM just unleashed a brand new music video for the track "Keep The Devil Away".
"The crushing, mid-tempo song, "Keep the Devil Away" is your first invitation to "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment". This melodic yet heavy song takes us deeper into the story of what cruel and unusual treatment the inmates face within the walls of the terrifying asylum behind Zornheym's concept. Prepare for an aural assault of orchestration and devastating metal riffs that could leave you questioning your sanity." the band comments.

"The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" Tracklist:
01. Corpus Vile
02. An Evil Within
03. Dead Silence
04. Keep The Devil Away
05. Slumber Comes In Time
06. Black Nine
07. The Veiling Of Bettelheims Eye
08. The Revelation
09. Keep Cutting
10. The Madness That Lurks Within (Epilogue)

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS
COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: BLACK DEATH METAL
EP TITLE: POSTMORTEM WHISPERING CROWS
RELEASE YEAR : 2019
LABEL: NON SERVIAM RECORDS
REVIEW N.P.H. - RATE 9,5/10 - [ READ IT ]



"POSTMORTEM WHISPERING CROWS" EP DETAILS!

Polish melodic black / death metal mavericks DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS have released via Non Serviam Records their new EP entitled "Postmortem Whispering Crows"!

Music wise "Postmortem Whispering Crows" simply continues where "The I" left off. Having introduced some rock-like solos on the latest full-length these unreleased tracks seem to be characterized by even more open approach to the genre. "Postmortem Whispering Crows" is an epic journey across black death metal with the band's own, unique flare to it.

Quazarre (vocals / guitars) comments:
"One of my all-time greatest inspirations has always been literature of The Young Poland (a modernist period in Polish literature, covering roughly the years between 1890 and 1918). The movement promoted trends of decadence, neo-romanticism, symbolism, catastrophism and impressionism. Having quoted "Dzieci Szatana" (Satans Kinder) by one of the period visionary Stanisław Przybyszewski within the lyrics of our "Adventvs" EP, its been a logical way for me to immerse both "The I" and "Postmortem Whispering Crows" EP even deeper into the decadent world of other haunted figures associated with the philosophy of their leader. The quoted authors following the period concept believed in decadence, an end of all culture, the conflict between humans and their civilization, and the concept of art as the highest value."

DIABOLICAL
COUNTRY: SWEDEN
GENRE: BLACKENED DEATH METAL
ALBUM TITLE: ECLIPSE
RELEASE YEAR : 2019
LABEL: INDIE RECORDINGS
REVIEW N.P.H. - RATE 10/10 - [ READ IT ]



"ECLIPSE" DETAILS:

The blackened death metallers DIABOLICAL will be releasing their sixth studio album "Eclipse" on February 15th via Indie Recordings.

More than twenty years after their formation in northern Sweden, innovative death/black metal hybrid DIABOLICAL proves to be more vital than ever and puts forth "Eclipse", a concept album reflecting on the dark side of humanity that forces the listener to explore his own diabolical side. The album is a tour de force with spitting musical and aesthetic complexity swirling around a dense soundscape of excellently distilled and refined ideas, altogether forming a rare display of musical craftsmanship equaled by very few contemporary metal bands. With nine gracefully raging songs, "Eclipse" presents DIABOLICAL as a mature and sophisticated band on the rise to new heights.



DIABOLICAL - Eclipse

Tracklist:

1. We Are Diabolical
2. Betrayal
3. Black Sun
4. Failure
5. Inception
6. Hunter
7. Tyranni
8. The Fire Within
9. Requiem

"We Are Diabolical" is a song that sounds just as daunting as the title suggests. Right from the opening you get the feeling that the doomsday has come with a swarm of fallen angels painting the sky black. A contrasting middle part follows and prepares you for a final raging battle towards the end of the song. Give it a spin!

"This is the opening track of the new album and it sets the tone for it: grand, intense, ominous and dark. Thematically it puts forth what is at the core of the concept of this album, its supposed to raise questions and provoke the listener" says guitarist Carl Stjarnlov.

SUSPERIA
COUNTRY: NORWAY
GENRE: BLACKENED THRASH/HEAVY METAL
ALBUM TITLE: THE LYRICIST
RELEASE YEAR : 2018
LABEL: AGONIA RECORDS
REVIEW N.P.H. - RATE 9,5/10 - [ READ IT ]



"THE LYRICIST" DETAILS:

"The Lyricist" will arrive nearly nine years to the day its predecessor ("Attitude", 2009) came out. Its release has been scheduled for the 16th of March on Agonia Records. The album is available for pre-ordering HERE.

The origins of SUSPERIA can be traced back to 1998 when Tjodalv, then occupying the drum seat with Dimmu Borgir, and long-time friend Cyrus (ex-Satyricon, Old Man's Child) got together to share ideas and write songs. Clearly rooted and seasoned in the Norwegian black metal scene, SUSPERIA elevated its sound into more melodic areas of extreme metal, embracing and exploring a variety of musical avenues with ease.

On "The Lyricist", SUSPERIA has gone back to its black origin in many ways, one of which is a more grimmer expression. The characteristic melodic twist the band is known for is still present, and an additional layer of variety has been added thanks to new vocalist, Bernt 'Dagon' Fjellestad (whose stage debut with the band was made at last year's 70000 Tons Of Metal Festival). From SUSPERIA's pragmatic point of view, the new album is a "good old-fashioned kick in the head, both old and new fans should find enjoyable".

"The Lyricist" was recorded at three different studios in Norway between February 2015 and May 2016. The album was later mixed and mastered at Strand Studio (Chrome Division, The Wretched End, In Vain) by Marius Strand. Cover design and artwork was prepared by Vincent Fouquet. New band photos were shot by Espen Bakken.



"The Lyricist" Tracklist:
1. I Entered
2. Heretic
3. The Lyricist
4. My Darkest Moment
5. Day I Died
6. Void
7. Feed The Fire
8. Whore Of Man
9. Come Alive

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS
COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: BLACK DEATH METAL
ALBUM TITLE: THE I
RELEASE YEAR : 2017
LABEL: LIFEFORCE RECORDS
REVIEW N.P.H. - RATE 9/10 - [ READ IT ]



"THE I" DETAILS:

Hailing from Poland, the epic black / death metallers of DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS will release their new album, "The I" on September 22nd, 2017 via Lifeforce Records. The album will be available as CD digipak, limited vinyl LP and digital download.

Recorded at various studios, including Dobra 12 Studio (drums) and Icaros Studio (guitars) the disc was mixed and mastered at Impressive-Art Studio by Przemyslaw Nowak who also handled vocals recording sessions and guitars re-amping. The albums artwork, design and layout were created by Infected Minds. Photo session by Robert Zembrzycki and Pawel Kowalski of BandPhoto

The album features special guest appearances by MERCYFUL FATE / KING DIAMONDs guitarist Mike Wead and by Norways dark metal masters AETERNUS vocalist / guitarist Ares. Other artists who also contributed to the record are shamanic ritual meditative experimental act BÖN and Impressive-Art Studio's owner PRZEMYSLAW NOWAK who came up with interludes, additional background tunes and effects.

"Its been a really long way to be finally able to wrap it all up, countless nights spent on writing the music and lyrics first, then working on the albums pre-production, followed by what seemed to be never-ending, proper recording sessions, and tones of work that had to be done for the band afterwards. We really wanted this new album to become something really special and therefore, to avoid any haphazard decisions, we let them come out of us smoothly, without putting ourselves under any external tension and stuff. Did it pay off? Well, well see! We surely worked our asses off, pushed things back and forth to get the best out of it. As a result weve got something we are damn proud of, something that we believe surpasses on all possible levels everything weve done in the past. I simply believe we have outdone ourselves and recorded something that will cause your hearts beat faster" comments Quazarre, the bands composer, vocalist and guitarist.

The title chosen, "The I", for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the bands name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Hordes 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.
