Behind The Tracks: Hatefulmurder - I Give My Soul (Single) (2026)

Julia Roiz (Vocalist): The song is about *Sehnsucht*—a German word representing a deep longing, almost like a yearning for something we haven't yet experienced. For me, it’s about the feeling that there is a place, a passion, or a purpose where we belong, and being willing to give everything to reach it. When we find something that gives meaning to our existence, every step takes on a purpose. 'I Give My Soul' is about that surrender—about following that call even when no one around us can grasp the intensity of that desire.

Renan Campos (Guitarist): I wanted to incorporate a waltz-like verse, a more explosive chorus, and a strong melody that would steer the music in different directions. We’re going through a process of change, you know? I don’t want to make the same album for my entire career. I think it’s important for the band to evolve, experiment, and allow itself to explore new territory. Yet, at the same time, I don’t feel we’ve lost our essence. If someone asked me today exactly which metal subgenre HATEFULMURDER plays, I honestly wouldn’t know how to answer. And, in a way, I think that’s a good thing. Perhaps our identity lies precisely in not needing to fit into a single definition.
