Death metal levellers Hate Eternal have signed a deal with Season Of Mist for their new album, tentatively set for early 2015 release.
Hate Eternal were spawned in 1997, shortly after Erik Rutan’s first departure from Morbid Angel (Rutan plays in Morbid Angel’s D,E,F and G albums- he rejoined the band in 1999 and left again for good in 2002). Nowadays also a renowned music producer, Rutan is the mastermind in Hate Eternal; he handles guitar and vocal duties and is currently joined only by bass-player J.J. Hrubovcak.
Rutan describes the new material: “Writing this album was a long and arduous process. It took a tremendous amount of determination, blood, and sweat to bring this all to fruition. We’re super proud of what we’ve accomplished creatively, and excited at the prospect of releasing what we feel is our most powerful Hate Eternal material to date. Now it is time to bring this all to life! The recording process so far has been fantastic. I’ve never felt so focused and determined on a Hate Eternal record, and I know that this will be an album our listeners and supporters will truly appreciate. It represents an important milestone for me personally since 15 years ago both Hate Eternal began recording its first album and Mana Recording Studios was born.”
Concluding, Rutan promises that Hate Eternal “have so much more news to share with you over the coming months” so keep an eye out for it!
