Hate – Bellum Regiis

• Country: Poland
• Style: Death metal
• Relase date: 2 May 2025
  

Bellum Regiis marks a calculated refinement of Hate’s approach: sharply focused, thematically coherent, and musically rich. The album harnesses their raw aggression while layering atmospheric touches—female vocals, synths, and acoustic moments—that elevate the emotional and narrative weight of the metal onslaught. It’s both ritualistic and cinematic, offering a powerful exploration of power, sacrifice, and destiny.

Critics largely regard the album as a high point in Hate’s discography, praising its balance of brutality and breadth. Though a few flagged issues with pacing, this release stands as a reinvigorated vision for the band—one that melds dark introspection with unrelenting force.
