Editor's note

Hate Eternal's relentless death metal from Tampa Bay

A band built on blast beats and tremolo-picked riffs, with a sound that never compromises.

If you want to hear their sound in a nutshell, try 'Para Bellum' or 'Thorns Of Acacia'. They're both pure Hate Eternal, fast, dark, and unrelenting.

Hate Eternal formed in 1997 and quickly set a standard for aggressive death metal with their debut 'Conquering the Throne'. Songs like 'Para Bellum' and 'Thorns Of Acacia' show their commitment to dark, intense themes, even as their lyrics have sparked debate. Their music stays focused on that relentless energy, album after album.

They started in Tampa Bay in 1997 with Erik Rutan and Derek Roddy, releasing 'Conquering the Throne' two years later. The lineup has shifted over time, but the sound has always centered on blast beats and tremolo-picked riffs. Albums like 'Fury & Flames' kept that intensity going without much melodic softening.
