Tomorrow, October 15, Metal Blade Records will release Rugia, the twelfth full-length album from Polish blackened death metallers Hate.
The album is now streaming in advance of that release. You can blast it below.
Rugia was tracked at Hertz Recording Studio in Poland, and it was recorded, mixed, and mastered by the Wiesłaski Brothers. Everything was laid down over about two to three weeks, with longtime collaborator Michał Staczkun providing the ambient elements of the band’s sound.
HATE is also celebrating thirty years of activity with Rugia. Vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner affirms he is as driven as ever:
“The fire is still burning! I’m proud that I have built a band with such strong energy, that’s lasted for a long time in spite of numerous line-up changes and obstacles in our way. We are still here, and we create with ever growing consciousness and dedication. The energy speaks through us. Honestly, I think of the band as something much bigger and more profound than the individual people involved in it over any given period of time. I believe we create a channel for energies that surpass us.”

The band previously released two singles: the title track and “Resurgence.”
