HATRED REIGNS Forges A Path of Extreme Musical Mastery With “Departing Acheron”
Hatred Reigns, an uncompromising force hailing from the Ottawa Capital Region of Ontario introduced themselves with force back in 2018 with their concept debut “Realm I: Affliction”, which ushered listeners into the depths of Hell. This year, they will continue their descent with "Awaken The Ancients", the first single being “Departing Acheron” presented now with a music video. The lyrics on the album are inspired by the film “What Dreams May Come”, the novels Dante’s “Inferno”, John Milton’s “Paradise Lost”, and the mental anguish and exploits that many of us experience but choose life vs succumbing to the ever-looming darkness. The band comments on the meaning behind the single:
“Approaching the shores of Necropia, the realm of judgment, the vessel sails closer to its destination. The Ancients intensify their efforts to deceive and ensnare the voyagers. Their intention is to imprison these souls, subjecting them to a fate dictated by the Ancients themselves, just before they face their ultimate judgment.”
