Check out The New Hate Eternal and Devouring Star Albums Two Days Early
Hate Eternal, Erik Rutan's long running grandiloquent death metal project, is set to reach new heights yet again with their seventh studio album, Upon Desolate Sands, which will feature cybernetic octopus Hannes Grossman of Obscura fame behind the drumkit, making the band's lineup even more formidable. The record is slated for official release this Friday via Season of Mist; however, as the next installment of their series of exclusive album streams, the label announced yesterday that they would be uploading Upon Desolate Sands in full via their YouTube channel for fans to enjoy.

The other album receiving an early unveiling today is the sophomore LP by Finnish black metal group Devouring Star, which will see a release through Dark Descent Records, also on October 26th. Entitled The Arteries of Heresy, the record is a follow-up to 2015's Through Lung and Heart and "sees the band expertly commanding chaos and sonic violence". According to Dark Descent records and, the album is "bound to be one of 2018's most unforgiving and uncompromising black metal records", a bold statement considering 2018's monumental list thus far.
