Background information über 'Of Light And The Absence Of Light'

Hatred Divine delivers a masterclass in atmospheric black metal with "Of Light And The Absence Of Light", their debut full-length that stands as a testament to the genre's capacity for both brutality and beauty. This self-released opus weaves together twelve tracks of carefully crafted darkness, where philosophical themes dance with crushing riffs and haunting melodies. The album opens with the instrumental "Once Upon A Time... (Prolog)" before unleashing the ferocious "Thy Will Be Done", setting the stage for a journey through light and shadow that never loses its grip on the listener.

The band's sophisticated approach to songwriting shines throughout tracks like "The Tome Tore Down The Wall" and the epic title track "Of Light And The Absence Of Light", where they seamlessly blend aggressive passages with moments of contemplative beauty. The inclusion of interludes like "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" and the closing "Funeral Anthems (Epilog)" showcases their understanding of album flow and dynamic tension. Each composition feels purposeful, building toward a cohesive statement about duality and human struggle that resonates long after the final notes fade.
