Polish extreme black/death metallers HATE will release their new album, “Tremendum”, on May 5 via Napalm Records. The cover artwork was created by Daniel Rusilowicz and can be seen below.

The official lyric video for the song “Asuric Being”, taken from “Tremendum”, can be seen below. HATE leader Adam “ATF Sinner” Buszko stated about the track: “The lyric for ‘Asuric Being’ is inspired by Rudolf Steiner‘s philosophical concept of Asuras – Spirit of Darkness or spirit of self-hood (egoism). It has a lot of archaic references and a history that long pre-dates Christianity. A truly great concept that has become a big source of inspiration to me. As for the music, you may notice how much we have refined the formula since Crusade. Tremendum is a profound, organic and adventurous album. We are really proud of it!”

The title “Tremendum” (eeriness and the fear of the holy) refers to an archaic notion of holiness, which is both good and evil. And you will have absolutely no doubt which part of it this band represents.

You will rediscover the band and on a new level, as they seem to reach into different musical resources, including progressive beats, ingenious song structures and a completely new sound, which is still authentically harsh and yet very powerful.

Buszko stated about the album artwork: “The drawing on the cover depicts a nighthawk (Polish: lelek), a nocturnal bird that was treated with great respect by Slavic tribes in pre-Christian times. Nighthawks were believed to bring souls to this world and take them away from dying people. In that case, they gathered in big numbers screeching for long hours. So they were called ‘messengers of death.’ As this album has different Slavic references, we chose Nighthawk as a symbol that best conveys its meaning.”
