The Host return from “ "Lords of Chaos

METAL EXTREMO

The Host returns with “Lords of Chaos”, accompanied by an official lyric/visualizer video. a visceral reinterpretation of a dark classic

After more than a decade on hiatus, the Minas Gerais band The Host reemerges with renewed strength on the Black and Death Metal scene. The single “Blasphemare MMXXIII”, released in September 2024, marks this return with a brutal reinterpretation of one of the group's most emblematic tracks, originally presented on the eponymous demo from 2009.

The new version carries the same dense and dark essence, but now coated with a modern production and intensified arrangements that enhance the sound experience. The musical maturity acquired over the years shines through in the composition, which preserves its original brutality while presenting an even more refined approach.

The lyrics of “Blasphemare MMXXIII” delve into themes of profanity and subversion, questioning the imposition of Christianity on ancestral cultures. The band builds a lyrical narrative that confronts centuries of religious domination, portraying a ritual of liturgical inversion and mockery of what is considered sacred.

Catholic symbols and rites are reinterpreted in a provocative way, creating a striking contrast between traditional sacredness and a perspective of resistance and chaos. This approach goes beyond a simple critique of religion, addressing the cultural and spiritual impact of Christianization over the centuries.

A trajectory marked by overcoming obstacles

Founded in 2004, The Host quickly stood out by combining aggression, heaviness and dark atmospheres, consolidating itself as a relevant name in extreme metal. With three demos and an EP released before 2010, the band gained respect in the underground scene.

However, an involuntary hiatus interrupted the group's trajectory, which only resurfaced in 2022 with renewed determination. Since then, the band members have been working hard on a new album, ARS TENEBRARUM, which will combine previously unreleased compositions with tracks created before the hiatus.

Future plans

In addition to “Blasphemare MMXXIII”, The Host promises more news. Two new singles are on the way, accompanied by videos. One of them will feature a visualizer, while the other will feature a collaborative video with special appearances by André Damien (Paradise In Flames), Pedro Duarte (Payback) and Marcela Meguria (Arguerom/Libre).

These releases reinforce the essence of The Host: a celebration of darkness, a profound questioning of the human condition and a reflection on the chaos and ephemerality of existence.

With impeccable production and lyrics that challenge imposed morality, The Host solidifies its position as one of the great names in national extreme metal.
