Black Hate Premieres New Song
Following the 2012 full-length album "Los Tres Mundos," the eclectic Mexican black metal band Black Hate went on hiatus for over a year before returning for a handful of split releases.
Back on track for devastating new material, Black Hate will be releasing a new EP consisting of four tracks in May next year.
You don't have to wait that long to hear new music from Black Hate though, as today we're premiering the new track "Aneetmaa" online.
Take the dark sonic journey below, which goes through several distinct progressions in genre across its run time (take note of the shift in style and tone at the 3:30 mark and again around 5:40).
If you dig what you hear, be sure to also download the track over at the Black Hate SoundCloud page.

Black Pussy Releases New Video
Portland's Black Pussy (named for the original working title of The Rolling Stones' mega-hit "Brown Sugar" -an anti-racism tune) has been busy as usual.
Aside from perpetual nationwide touring including a North American stint with ex-Kyuss band Vista Chino, the group has spent the last two years constantly working on heavy, psychedelic songs with not only Portland recording engineer Adam Pike (Red Fang, Norska, Black Elk, etc.) but also the Kyuss founding drummer and multi-instrumentalist Brant Bjork.
The culmination of years of hard work, psychedelic trips and perpetual touring brings to life a '70s-influenced, hide-your-daughters-because-they're-coming-to-town rock 'n' roll attitude with "Magic Mustache," due out February 17th.
"For The Sake Of Argument" is the first single from Black Pussy's forthcoming album. Check out a new video clip for the song below, courtesy of Metal Injection. More...
