Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

February 19, 2026 marked the official release of “Hate!”, the highly anticipated debut album by HOSTYLER, an Italian groove/alternative metal band from Brescia (Lombardy), released via Wanikiya Record/Promotion.

“Hate!” is not just an album:
it’s a punch in the gut.

A direct, visceral, no-filter work built on massive riffs, pounding grooves and a fierce attitude, blending influences ranging from funk to thrash metal, from blues to rap, through classic metal and hard rock.
From this explosive mix comes a personal, modern and uncompromising sound.

GROOVE METAL WITH NO FILTERS. NO EXCUSES.

Active since 2016, Hostyler have made total creative freedom their trademark.
Each track is born from discussion, constructive clashes and meticulous refinement, until reaching the perfect balance between sonic power and melodic identity.

The lyrics, written in English, cut deep into the contradictions of modern society:
selfishness, hypocrisy, superficiality, but also more intimate reflections on human nature, personal passions and the desperate need for truth.

“SPILLING MY GUTS OUT”
The manifesto single by Hostyler

Leading up to the release of “Hate!” was the single “Spilling My Guts Out”, released on June 20, 2025 via Wanikiya Record/Promotion.

The track was born from a killer riff by bassist Davide Melloncelli and took shape through the classic Hostyler method: free experimentation, heated confrontation and surgical refinement.

The result is an adrenaline-fueled, devastating song — a true declaration of war against hypocrisy.

Written during the darkest days of the pandemic, “Spilling My Guts Out” is a cathartic outburst, a brutal denunciation of moral cowardice and the silence that too often poisons the human soul.

RECORDING & PRODUCTION

“Hate!” was recorded at Media Factory in Esine, after a long and meticulous studio process that led to the creation of 7 brand-new tracks.

The album was mixed by Matteo “TK” Turla, guitarist and synth player of the Brescia-based metalcore band Misantrophia, who successfully enhanced every nuance of the Hostyler sound, preserving the urgency, ferocity and emotional impact of the compositions.

Davide “Eddie” Fedrigolli – vocals & guitar
