Hate – Rugia:

Description

No one combines death and black metal quite like Poland’s Hate. With unflinching viciousness and a sense of atmosphere unique to the band, on ‘Rugia’, their twelfth full-length, they push the boundaries of their craft even further. Writing for ‘Rugia’ commenced shortly after ‘Auric Gates of Veles’ (2019) was released. However, Hate soon began to tour extensively in support of their then new opus, and the production of new music was put on the back burner. But come 2020 and the COVID pandemic, the band’s touring plans with Belphegor and Suffocation were abruptly cut short. With this unexpected infusion of free time, the band decided to buckle down and finish writing the material they were working on.
