HateSphere Release Guillotine, Their Twelfth Album
HateSphere’s Guillotine arrived October 9 via Scarlet Records, with ten tracks recorded at Antfarm Studio with longtime producer Tue Madsen.
HateSphere have released Guillotine, their twelfth album, through Scarlet Records. The Danish band’s new record arrived on October 9, 2026, with ten tracks and another recording session at Antfarm Studio with longtime producer Tue Madsen.
The complete album is available to stream and download through Scarlet Records’ official Bandcamp page. Its release follows Hatred Reborn, which came out in March 2023 and introduced Mathias Uldall as the band’s new vocalist.
Back at Antfarm with Tue Madsen
In their July 2026 newsletter, HateSphere said they had entered Antfarm at the beginning of June to record album number twelve. Final mixes were still being completed when that update appeared, with an early-October release already planned.
That places the sessions several months before this weekend’s release. Madsen’s involvement also continues an established working relationship: the band’s official biography identifies him as part of its recording team since 2003.
The current artist press page lists Peter “Pepe” Lyse Karmark and Franz Aleksander Posch on guitar, alongside Uldall on vocals, Jimmy Nedergaard on bass and Mike Park on drums.
