Editor's note

Hate Gods, New Orleans' raw and confrontational metal band

Formed in 1988, they built a reputation on abrasive songs and provocative live shows.

For their sound, check out 'Sofrimento Eterno'. If you want the full picture, 'O Dia de Minha Morte' gives you that too.

Hate Gods matter because they never softened their sound or their stance. Songs like 'Sofrimento Eterno' and 'Morte' deliver that raw, confrontational style they established early on. Their onstage intensity, fueled by Mike IX Williams's reported self-mutilation and drug use, made them a genuine underground force, not just another metal act.

They started in New Orleans in 1988 with a lineup that included Mike IX Williams and Shaun Glass. Over the years, members like Larry Lifeless and Steve Chancellor came and went, but Williams and drummer Joe 'Boot' McGinty stuck around. They put out albums from 'Self-Titled' and 'Christhunt' to 2019's 'Exórdio'.

Archive material and source history

Hate Gods formed in New Orleans in 1988, with Mike IX Williams from the punk band False Prophets on vocals. The original lineup included guitarist Shaun Glass, bassist Aaron Rossi, and drummer Joe 'Boot' McGinty. Their early sound was raw and abrasive, with songs like 'Nefasto Cenário do Mundo' and 'Misantropia' establishing their confrontational style.

Williams's onstage behavior, which reportedly included self-mutilation and drug use, contributed to their reputation as a provocative live act. Both Williams and Glass struggled with substance abuse during the band's early years.

The band's discography includes albums like 'Self-Titled' and 'Christhunt,' with their most recent release being 'Exórdio' in 2019. While Williams and McGinty have remained constant members, other musicians like rhythm guitarist Larry Lifeless, bassist Steve Chancellor, and keyboardist Sean Martin have played with the group at various times.
