By Dr. A.N. Grier
In a country where you have to compete with Behemoth and Vader to make a name for yourself, Hate has done damn well for the last thirty years. Never a band to wow the masses, Hate is consistently solid, moving their traditional death metal sound into a more blackened variation over the years. Though everyone calls Hate a Behemoth clone, I’ve listened to both bands long enough to know that’s not true. While they’ve never had the success of their Polish heathens, Perun V.’s crushing guitars and Vader-esque vocals continue to lead the charge, prolifically releasing albums to their dedicated fanbase regardless how many times someone, like Steel Dick, calls them “Behemoth Jr.”1 This year brings Bellum Regis, the band’s thirteenth fucking full-length album. Jesus. And, as fans would expect, it’s massive, spitting venom and rumbling daycare facilities like a panzer just rolled into town. But, will ole Grier love it or Hate it?
Coming off 2021’s solid offering, Rugia, Bellum Regis sets out to deliver more devastation to this already devastating world. One surprising aspect of this new album is the inclusion of female vocals. While mostly assigned to the nosebleed section to protect them from the action, these subtle touches add some well-needed texture to the album’s melodic passages. Combined with the vocals, those melodic elements dip deep into the Gorgoroth watering hole, pulling up similar handfuls of depressed trout as Gorgy’s “Rebirth” and “Burn in His Light.” Surrounding all this are nuggets of headbangable riffage, blistering blastbeats, and Perun V.’s vicious vocals that never seem to age.
“Bellum Regis” gets the war tracks rolling in a stellar way. One of the album’s better songs, the misleading clean guitars and gentle female swooning eventually give way to a minefield of blackened riffage and guttural growls. As it charges ahead, melodic flourishes rear their ugly heads before they are shot down by what sounds like a dozen machine guns firing in unison. As the song alternates between aggressive and melodic passages, it continues to build… for a bit too long. Regardless, it’s a crushing number and a fantastic way to begin the album. The follow-up track, “Iphigenia,” shares the title track’s ill-tempered mood with a synthy atmosphere and alternating clean and hauntingly distorted guitars, which bring to mind a combination of Behemoth and Carach Angren. The main riffage has some serious death attitude, and the back half is injected with a melodic transition, where that female siren returns. But, like its predecessor, it hangs around a touch too long.
“A Ghost of Lost Delight” is another long, building piece that offers as much as the previous tracks but never really reaches the crest. Romping around with old-school blackened tremolo work, it passes through dungeons of meloblack bliss before collapsing and restarting again. By the end, the hopes for an erupting climax hang in the air but never come. While the simplistic “Prophet of Arkhen” uses a similar riff foundation, it introduces beautifully crushing chugs that’ll snap your neck and leave you a vegetable for the remainder of the album. Keeping it simple, the build is more meaningful, and the final climax leaves me in orgasmic bliss. “Perun Rising” delivers the goods for the melodic areas of the album. Mashing black, death, and meloblack together, this dark beauty rises and falls through a barren wasteland where Mephorash lives.
Overall, Bellum Regis is another solid outing from Hate that continues along the path set by the band in the last decade or so. Some songs work perfectly as they stand, while others could use some trimming. Most notably, a few minutes of the album’s first half could use the axe, as the back half is shorter and arguably works better. That said, each track contains pieces that separate one from the other to minimize repetition across its forty-six-minute runtime. Though Bellum Regis isn’t perfect, I’ll return for those little morcels of goodness as I do with every Hate release.

Some bands have history. Eisregen has lore. Terrorizing Germany for almost 30 years, core members Yantit and M.Roth have managed to get 2 of their albums restricted and 2 more outright banned in their home country. The BzKJ1 brought down the hammer on account of the sheer fucked-up-ness of their lyrics, which feature graphic gore, necrophilia, incest, and more. I think the German government has never heard of slam, or that list would be a whole lot longer. Though I had caught Eisregen’s moniker floating about the web a few times, it wasn’t until now that I got to sample their proprietary brand of perversion. How does Abart stack up against its 15(!) predecessors?
No one has time to listen to a discography that size for reviewing a single album, but a brief perusal suggests that Eisregen is very much in the camp that won’t fix what ain’t broken. Three parts gothic metal, two parts black metal and one part death metal, the music is kept smaller than the uninitiated like myself might have expected, contrasting the amount of hoo-hah the band seems to have drawn. In hoarse, breathy rasps, the band sketches nightmarish stories like Mary Shelley turned to 11, without overt aggression or grandeur. Demure piano and violin supply a measure of haunting atmosphere and the necessary hooks to keep the tracks interesting beyond the disturbing lyrics. This is vital, as you need to speak German to understand them in the first place.
But whilst my expectations were tempered, I’ve found myself pleasantly taken with Abart. The songwriting is simple and not particularly dynamic, sticking to basic structures without significant evolution in pacing or mood, but Eisregen shows itself capable of engaging on many different levels across the well-varied tracklist. Wistful melancholy outlines “Im blutroten Raum,” yet the rambunctious “Hinterland” is suffused with a Finntroll-like sense of mischief. “Schöner sterben” is straight-up gothic doom in the vein of Paradise Lost, but “Lebendköder” hews closer to the theatrical gothic black of Cradle of Filth or Carach Angren. M.Roth’s rasp is suitably over the top, hamming up the evil characters he embodies with highly entertaining relish and over-pronunciation, but he can be surprisingly sonorous with his cleans which evoke Till Lindeman (Rammstein).
It can be hard to escape the autopilot altogether when you average an album every other year for three decades, though, and Eisregen doesn’t entirely escape a vibe of formulaic composition. The vocals are great, but clean asides aside, they have one tone and one intensity across the majority of the album. Verse-chorus structures are fine, but with the tempo and intra-track variety on display, the music can get predictable at times. The attempt at an epic closer, “Totkörperkunst,”2 doesn’t have enough going for it to fill its 10-minute duration. It results in an album that is enjoyable while it’s playing but lacks the zest to outgrow itself beyond that.
Still, with the law of diminishing records in mind, Abart finds Eisregen in finer form than most bands with a discography well into double digits can lay claim to. Despite the overlong finale, there are no real duds on here, with both atmosphere and hooks plentiful and very entertaining. Even the production is well above industry standard despite the vocals sitting too far forward in the mix. As for the lyrics, the ones I’ve translated are very entertaining self-contained horror stories, such as a bolt gun serial killer and a murder-suicide by embalming, so the German audience might get more out of this one. But monolinguals, don’t let that scare you off, because Abart is a fun yet undemanding little slasher anthology that will make for a great Halloween soundtrack in a couple of months.

There's something to songs like Charlie by Carach Angren and Found Footage by To The Grave that just hits different. They're more stories told poetically to the beat of the music. Not that other songs aren't poetry or stories, but these songs just have a quality that I love, and that im having trouble defining. If anyone hears what I mean and knows of more songs like them, please let me know. I will be eternally grateful.

Isn't it weird how the mind drifts sometimes? Saw a video for an old Fleshgod Apocalypse song and went back to listen to some old death metal from back when that was my genre of choice.. a couple artists later im listening to Carach Angren and reminiscing about my black metal phase (which came shortly after my death metal phase).. also Charlie still holds up as one of the best songs ever written after all this time
