Finnish juggernaut of melodic death metal, Hagalas, has released their first single from the upcoming album "Mentes Reae." The track is titled "Domesticated Violence"
The "Mentes Reae" album was recorded during 2023 and will be released as a physical edition on May 31, 2024, through Inverse Records. As for streaming platforms, the album will be gradually available in its entirety starting from early autumn 2024. The album's theme revolves around mental health and its complex facets, and it goes without saying that this theme is more relevant now than ever before. Alongside the band, Samuli Raappana (Tuuliajo) participated in the recordings and mixing, while Tony Lindgren (Fascination Street Studios) handled the mastering.
The choice of the first single release aligns perfectly with the album's theme. As its name suggests, it addresses domestic violence and the resulting trauma, questioning how much an individual can endure before something irreversible happens?
The song is available on streaming platforms, and a lyric video has been created, which can be viewed on Inverse Records' and the band's channels.
