Twenty years in Saint Paul, and this one goes out with no label on it. Hate Beast release Humanity Redacted on 1 October, independently and digitally.
The eleven tracks are The Host, Cult of Thousands, Four Thieves, Orloj, Simple Human Trash, The Reality, Lusca, Tyrant at Heart, Chains, In Death We Wake and Last Breath. Three of them, The Host, Orloj and Lusca, have been out ahead of the record.
The band formed in 2006 around Aaron Havlicek, who sings and plays guitar and is the only man there from the beginning, with Carlos Lebron on the other guitar since 2008. They play thrash with the death metal pulled well forward.
