Dominant Ukranian black metal writer Roman Saenko has been the driving force behind the black metal scene since early 1995 starting with one of the most iconic Slavic black metal bands, Hate Forest. Following silence for 15 years, Hate Forest is once again back at the helm of the Slavic black metal front with the most recent album, Hour of the Centaur. Like never before, the pure animosity is in Hate Forest’s music, possibly due to this record being almost completely composed by Roman with the aid of Drudkh drummer V to program the blast sections. Taking the icy chill of Roman’s guitar tone to a new level with the virtual battering ram behind him, the album stands as if it came out only a few years after 2005’s Sorrow. This first press comes complete with a companion 7″ EP titled “Celestial Wanderer”, which was released on the same day as the album.
For fans of: Drudkh, Nokturnal Mortum, Burzum
