The date is finally upon us.
Erebos, the new album from Poland’s blackened death metal masters, HATE, has arrived on North American shores.
A punishing display of extreme metal at it’s finest, Erebos is already being heralded as the band’s most devastating effort to date, with
Blistering.com giving the album “two horns up” and Apoch’s Metal Review calling it “…one of more impressive Black and Death Metal efforts to come out in recent years.” For those of you who still need convincing, AOL’s
Noisecreep.com is streaming the album’s title track at
this location.
In support of the North American release of
Erebos, HATE has announced a massive attack containing two tours in the US and Canada.On the first tour, starting March 9th, the band will team up with Rotting Christ, Melechesh and others for 30 shows. For the second tour, which kicks off on April 18th, HATE will support Sepultura, Belphegor and, on select shows Nevermore, during a 38-show run covering the US and Canada. The band has also been confirmed to play some extra concerts between the mentioned tours. The HATE North America invasion will contain altogether 76 shows in the period of three months! Bandleader ATF Sinner comments,
“We’ve been looking for such an opportunity for years. It’s going to be the biggest and most presigious tour we’ve taken part in, and we just can’t wait to be there to spew Erebos songs on the crowds! I know such a long tour is a challenge, but I’m sure we’re well prepare for it. It’s gonna be our second tour in North America after last year’s raid with Hypocrisy which was a great experience for us.”
