MORE HATE PRODUCTIONS RUSSIAN UNDEGROUND METAL LABEL

More Hate Productions presents the fifth full-length album by SLYTHERIN (California, USA), demonstrating the significant development of this band. The genre shift is the main thing that is immediately noticable. Forsaking their black metal roots, SLYTHERIN dive into the world of dark, atmospheric and deeply emotional gothic doom metal. The album lyrics are traditionally inspired by the fantasy world created by Joanne Rowling. The melancholy and heaviness of gothic doom metal perfectly fit the emotional experiences characteristic of this world. ‘Has Only Just Begun’ has not lost the magic atmosphere of the previous releases, yet introduced some darker gothic shades that pair perfectly with the semantic component of the album. This release features guest musicians, who enriched the sound and expanded the musical spectrum of the band. Such changes show the desire of the musicians to find new musical forms and horizons, yet maintain the familiar atmosphere they are known and loved for. Another important novelty is the fact, that it is the first time the band publishes the lyrics in the booklet. This step is aimed at emphasizing the semantic component of the album and strengthening the connection with fans. ‘Has Only Just Begun’ is not just a new perspective on the sound of the band — it’s a new stage in its development. It will become a revelation to both the fans of the band and new listeners, opening a new chapter in the oeuvre of SLYTHERIN.
