Poland's Hate have returned with a new recording which shows them expanding on the blackened death metal style of previous releases and this is a review of their 2025 album "Bellum Regis' which was released by Metal Blade Records.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some spoken words a few seconds later while female vocals can also be heard on a few tracks. Orchestration is also added into the heavier sections of the songs at times while the harsh vocals also add in a lot of death metal growls and brutal blast beats and tremolo picking are also added into t he faster sections of the recording.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Some of the tracks are also long and epic in length along with the solos and leads also being done in a very chaotic yet melodic style and the album also adds in a lot of black metal elements. Acoustic guitars can also be heard on a few songs and a later track also introduces spoken words into the music.
On this recording hate takes their style of blackened death metal into a different direction without losing any of the brutality of previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Slavic Mythology, and the struggle for power.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hate and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Bellum Regis" "A Ghost of Lost Delight" and "Ageless Harp Of Devilry". 8 out of 10.
