DISASTERHATE FIRST EP “SACRIFICE TO ECLIPSE” OUT NOW ON DIGITAL STORES.
A modern thrash metal, a personal sick and obscure sound. “Sacrifice to eclipse” finds its roots into flesh, the solid human dimension of existence. A desperate agony in self-destruction, black and apocalyptic tones. This first EP destroys everything, annihilates existence, tears every religious value and trust for progress of science... to see what's left of mankind. The sacrifice to eclipse is just what man wants to hide.
