Metal Blade, New Music Release

βš”οΈ HATE Wages β€œBellum Regiis” Upon the Masses This May via Metal Blade Records πŸ’€

Polish blackened death metal war machine HATE has just declared their thirteenth full-length record Bellum Regiis will land with full force on May 2nd via Metal Blade Recordsβ€”and it’s coming for blood, bone, and belief systems.

πŸŽ₯ The first strike? β€œIphigenia.”
Watch it here

With nearly three decades of sonic devastation behind them, HATE isn’t resting on their corpse-pile of accolades. Bellum Regiis (“The War of Kings”) channels a new era of calculated aggressionβ€”icy, atmospheric, and epically brutal. Think tectonic riffs, scarred vocals, orchestral whispers, and drums that don’t just blastβ€”they detonate.

Produced by David Castillo (Candlemass, Carcass, Katatonia), this nine-track juggernaut sees ATF Sinner, Domin, Nar-Sil, and Tiermes dissecting the nature of power, sacrifice, and the scars etched into human history by kings, tyrants, and blind obedience.

πŸ’€ From Iphigenia to Inferi: Themes That Bleed

Lead single β€œIphigenia” draws from Greek tragedyβ€”a tale of ritual sacrifice, choice, and fate, drenched in betrayal and divine pressure.

β€œIs it monstrous to offer your child to the gods?” asks Sinner.
β€œOr is it divine to willingly die for your people?”

This is the kind of existential devastation that HATE thrives in.

Meanwhile, the album’s title track explores the eternal struggle for powerβ€”its seduction, its cost, and its scars. Female vocals from Eliza Sacharczuk and sweeping orchestration add haunted grandeur, while black metal elements cut through with sharpened precision.
