Osmose, 2009. Originally Beverina, 1999
"Hate Forest" born in 1995 and split-up in 2004. A true legend of Slavonic Black Metal, never being part of the scene, never giving interviews or making photos, the band crafted its own name with their extreme individualism and estrangement.
Hate Forest´s music can be described as grim, cold, aggressive and straightforward Black Metal, mostly very fast with low, distorted vocals and dark ambient elements.
The band´s lyrics are heavily influenced by Scythian and Slavic legends, the mythology of H. P. Lovecraft, and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
This album was recorded more than 10 years ago in cheap studio with minimum equipments in the Ukraine, though this is real, sincere crushing Black Metal - The way it should be!
"Sythia" is the first re-issue of Hate Forest albums by Osmose, and this has been re-arranged and re-mastered, with a new booklet in digisleeve format.
Further information can be found at the band´s [Myspace].
