In the run up to the album’s release, the band shared the singles “Idée Fixe” (listen via YouTube) and title track “Międzyczas” (listen via YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and all other major digital platforms). The full album will be available via all major streaming services from midnight 28th September.
“Międzyczas” is an evolution of Odium Humani Generis’ sound which started with 2020’s debut album “Przeddzień” (Cult of Parthenope) and 2022’s EP “Zarzewie” (Folter Records). The album is a journey that moves through the emotional stages of fear, disappointment, sadness and loneliness resounding in every song. Listeners may notice influences from bands such as Taake, Drudkh, Lifelover, Sacrilegium, Vemod or Furia; however, Odium Humani Generis goes a step further, adding subtle but clear references to sounds outside of the traditional spheres of black metal. Despite its melancholic character, the album is full of energetic moments that break the dark, introspective parts and give the music intensity.
“Międzyczas” was recorded with Mariusz Konieczny at Heavy Gear Studio, and the album was mixed and mastered by The Fall (Owls Woods Graves, Hauntologist, Mgła (live)) at Skrzypłocz Studio. The unique graphic design was created by Emilia Śpiewak, and the band photos were taken by Radosław Chojnacki.
Odium Humani Generis was established in 2015 in Łódź, Poland. The band comprises Biały on vocals and guitars, Murukh (ex-Fadheit) on drums, Bartos (Imperator, Pandemonium) on bass, Ominous (Nightbound) on guitars. Over the years, the band has toured with bands such as Carpathian Forest, Mgła, Spectral Wound and In Twilight’s Embrace, and supported acts such as Uada, Mortiis, Panzerfaust, Negative Plane, Ellende, Pillorian, Hate, Malokarpatan. OHG also performed at various European festivals including Under the Black Sun (DE), Throne Fest (BE) and Cosmic Void Festival (UK).
