Italian death metallers CHRONIC HATE will release their highly anticipated new album, “Defeating The Oblivion Of Life“, on May 29th 2026 via Time To Kill Records. The first single “The Wrong” is now streaming HERE. The band comments: “The lead single and opening track of our new album, ‘Defeating The Oblivion Of Life’, kicks off with deeply personal lyrics that resonate with anyone feeling out of place in today’s world of forced conformity and hypocritical respectability. Take pride in being an outsider! This track is our manifesto: pure rage, pure death metal, pure defiance”. Born from a band seasoned by over two decades of experience, the album clearly draws inspiration from the classic ‘90s death metal sound, with a nod to bands like Monstrosity and early Sinister, while updating these influences just enough to create a record that goes beyond mere homage. The songs are built around intricate, well-constructed riffs, impressive technical skill without descending into empty showmanship, and a subtle atmospheric layer that occasionally hints at blackened currents. “Defeating The Oblivion Of Life” inaugurates a significant new chapter for CHRONIC HATE. The album thrusts listeners into the extreme spirals of death metal through a mature fusion of different influences and compositional approaches. Its sound is driven by a solid and devastating production, achieved in the tradition of the genre with 100% acoustic drums and real amplifiers. Lyrically, the album is an act of rebellion against a world that seeks to condemn our lives to oblivion, submerging us in distractions and waste, reducing us to a dehumanized herd. The songs alternate between crude, direct verses and more intimate, lacerating, and personal passages, delivering undeniable emotional power and authenticity. Tracklist: 1. The Wrong
