HaatE are a solo project from Italy that plays a mixture of black metal and dark ambient and this is a review of his self released 2015 album "Breed: The Forlorn Majesty" which will be released on June 27th.
Nature and water sounds start off the album before adding in some heavy guitars and atmospheric sounds as well as a great amount of synths and all 3 of the tracks are very long and epic in length and after awhile grim screams make their presence known on the recording and the songs also mix in elements of experimental and ambient music.
Throughout the recording the music alternates between both the ambient and black metal parts and some of the guitar riffs also bring in small amount of depressive and atmospheric melodies and spoken word samples also make a return in certain sections of the recording and all of the songs stick to a very slow and melancholic musical direction and there is also a brief use of melodic guitar solos and leads and the last track is an all instrumental ambient piece.
HaatE continues the dark ambient sound of previous recordings while also keeping around the black metal vocals and also adding in guitars this time around and more elements of the depressive and atmospheric side of the black metal genre to create a very dark and melancholic recording, the song themes focus on darkness while the production sounds very powerful for being a self released recording.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from HaatE and if you are a fan of dark ambient and atmospheric black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ritual Of The Crystal Flame". 8 out of 10.
