HATE - Auric Gates of Veles
Metal Blade Records
Technically proficient blackened death is what this Polish band has become over the past few years. Then again it's a long ways away from their early days when people called em a BEHEMOTH knockoff. Auric Gates of Veles is the band's eleventh full length. Yeah I know that's fuckin amazing.
Given that it was with their last album, 2017's Tremendum, where they changed gears and got more into exploring the realms of black metal atmospherics thus steering away from their early pummeling death metal assault. Personally, since I'm a long time fan of HATE, I thought the change was cool. Auric Gates of Veles is better than their last one. In fact it's a perfect album BUT for a band to try so hard to get out of the shadow of their death metal peers. Now they step into a new shadow of blackened death.
