Commented
HATE guitarist/vocalist
Adam "ATF Sinner" Buszko: "We have just done mixes and mastering on the new material; our first album for
Napalm.
"I believe
'Solarflesh' is the most insane and haunting record we've done thus far. It's nothing but pure darkness… We're extremely satisfied with this 61-minute monster (12 songs) that we've put to life. Now we're working on a documentary about creation of
'Solarflesh', its ideological sides, the band's history, touring etc. It's going to be much more than just a studio report. We want it to be an in-depth interview revealing some unknown facts, hidden meanings etc. I'm sure people will find it interesting."
Buszko previously stated about
"Solarflesh": "On this album we definitely explore new territories and push the boundaries of this beautiful and sick genre to its absolute limits! The material contains 12 collages. Most of them are insanely fast (270 bpm). Others are groovy, trance-like mantras that seem to haunt you forever. They all have rich background of samples and other elements that make them sound multidimensional. We also have several dark, ambient compositions that seem like complete avantgarde. I've been working on them with
Michal Staczkun, the guy who did excellent job on our previous album,
'Erebos'. We are also working on a few songs with
Androniki Skoula, a singer from Greece, known for her involvement in the band
CHAOSTAR, as well as collaboration with
SEPTICFLESH and
ROTTING CHRIST. She's adding some 'Hellenic' flair to the songs that makes them even more elaborate."
