HateSphere has released “Guillotine,” the title track and first single taken from the new album, to be released on October 9 via Scarlet Records. Stream the single here, and listen here.
Guillotine dives into the subject of violent justice. It delivers the argument that systematic lawful justice can be unsatisfactory and ineffective and therefore will ignite a sense of vigilantism and a more violent nature affecting moral convictions.
Featuring artwork by Mikkel Rützov/Drown Design, the 12th studio album from the undisputed Danish dukes of thrash-death metal was produced, mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio (Heaven Shall Burn, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity).
Hand made, old school, real, in-your-face thrash-death metal that will for sure make your head bang until the neck snaps. That’s HateSphere!
Guillotine is more dark and atmospherical than the acclaimed 2023 Hatred Reborn, but still with all the typical HateSphere trademarks: the aggression, the speed, the melody, and the groove.
The whole record revolves around what defines the moral compass and what is morally good and bad but also what lies behind intentions, motives and actions. It paints the picture of the eternal struggle between human nature and societal constructs, and therefore poses the question – who will be the first to break: man or society. And in the end what will be the consequences.
Guillotine will be released in the following formats:
– digipack CD
– vinyl LP: 350 marbled orange; 150 white
– digital
