About
Hate Eternal is a formidable force in the world of death metal, known for their intense and technically sophisticated sound. Emerging from the rich death metal scene of Florida in the late 1990s, the band was founded by Erik Rutan (vocals, guitar), a former member of Morbid Angel and Ripping Corpse. Over the years, the lineup has seen several changes but has consistently included heavy-hitters like Jared Anderson (bass) and Derek Roddy (drums). Hate Eternal's music is a relentless fusion of death metal, grindcore, and technical death metal, drawing influence from Floridian pioneers like Death and Obituary. Their discography, including albums like Fury and Flames and Infernus, showcases their evolution and dedication to pushing the boundaries of the genre.
