HateSphere has released “Guillotine”, the title track and first single taken from the new album to be released on October 9 by Scarlet Records.
“Guillotine” dives into the subject of violent justice. It delivers the argument that systematic lawful justice can be unsatisfactory and ineffective and therefore will ignite a sense of vigilantism and a more violent nature affecting moral convictions.

Hand made, old school, real, in-your-face thrash-death metal that will for sure make your head bang until the neck snaps. That´s HateSphere!
“Guillotine” is more dark and atmospherical than the acclaimed 2023 “Hatred Reborn”, but still with all the typical HateSphere trademarks: the aggression, the speed, the melody, and the groove.
The whole record revolves around what defines the moral compass and what is morally good and bad but also what lies behind intentions, motives and actions. It paints the picture of the eternal struggle between human nature and societal constructs, and therefore poses the question – who will be the first to break: man or society. And in the end what will be the consequences.
