Danish thrashers HATESPHERE have inked a deal with Massacre Records. The band’s eighth studio album, “Murderlust”, will be released on September 27. The CD was recorded at Antfarm Studios in Aarhus, Denmark with producer Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, SICK OF IT ALL, MOONSPELL, DARK TRANQUILLITY)
Commented the group: “As a band, there is a time where you find out what is most important! We most certainly found out that finding a label that believes in us and loves our music must be the thing, and we can’t find a better match than Massacre Records. Knowing what the label stands for, Massacre is the perfect partner to release our new album, ‘Murderlust’, later this year. We can’t wait to start our journey together.”
HATESPHERE will support HYPOCRISY on the second leg of the “End Of Disclosure Tour 2013” this fall.
HATESPHERE‘s most recent album, “The Great Bludgeoning”, entered the official chart in Denmark at position No. 40. The group’s 2009 effort, “To The Nines”, landed at No. 36 while 2007’s “Serpent Smiles and Killer Eyes” debuted at No. 26.

Commented the band: “We have aimed the new album in a more old-school direction than its predecessor.
“With people this experienced joining the band, it has been a very relaxed and enjoyable process to write the songs, and we have all agreed on the concept. More metal and everything that follows. The cover, the title and the lyrics speaks for themselves.
“We are an angry-sounding metal band, and we have no intention of denying that. That’s why the cover is more back-to-the-roots and the lyrics are again about aggressions, drinking and hate. The things that HATESPHERE has always been about.
“Expect brutality, melody and groove in just the right dose.
“We have had one hell of a time writing and recording it, and we can’t wait to present the album to all of you before long! Within a month or so, we will have the first song snippet and video ready for you — so keep your eyes and ears open.”
