HATE BIOGRAPHY
HATE has always meant the essence of extreme and unholy metal, and as
such, had tremendous influence over forming Polish metal scene in the nineties
and nillies. Established in 1990 in Warsaw by a guitarist and vocalist Atf
Sinner, the band has quickly become one of the leading acts in the Polish
underground. HATE's music was always elaborate death metal with lyrics
concentrating on apocalyptic themes, spiritual mysticism and dark part of Self,
showing distinct anti-religious attitude. In 1992 the first demo "Abhorrence"
was released by a small underground label Hate Productions. After
numerous line-up changes and releasing a series of records available solely in
their native Poland, the group inked their first international record deal with
an American label World War III in 2000. At that point the band was given
an opportunity to leave obscurity of the Polish underground in which they
remained for nearly a decade.
Soon HATE's early material was published on two discs titled “Holy
Dead Trinity” (2000) and “Cain’s Way” (2002). A year later, the band
signed another contract with French-based label Listenable Records, and
released their next, highly acclaimed album “Awakening of the Liar”
(2003), which is considered one of the Polish death metal masterpieces. In 2004
the group was working on an official DVD material titled “the Litanies of
Satan”, which was soon published by Metal Mind Productions. In that
period the band’s style acquired new characteristics - industrial and dark
ambient elements appeared in the background of the main riffs. This kind of
arrangements was further developed on an album titled “Anaclasis - a gospel
of malice nad hatred” (2005), which no longer presented classical death
metal but ingenious combination of death, black and heavy metal with distinct
industrial influences. “Anaclasis” got great reviews in almost all metal
magazine across Europe and was highly acclaimed as one of the most innovative
records in the genre.
In support of the album, the band went on their first full-fledged European tour
with Carpathian Forest and appeared on a few important festivals such as
PartySan Open Air, Winter Assault and more. In 2007 the band once again
went to tour Europe, this time accompanied by their countrymen Decapitated.
January 2008 saw another album from HATE which was titled “Morphosis”
and released again via Listenable Records. The record showed fast
musical development of the band, as well as the production part. HATE got
offers from numerous festivals, such as Brutal Assault, Neurotic Death Fest,
Screamfest, Metalcamp Festival, Summer Breeze O.A., Metal Heads’ Mission and
more. In May 2008, the group realized their first official video-clip for the
song “Threnody”, which was shot in an actual coal mine in Silesia/Poland.
The album “Morphosis” has also been officially released in the USA, South
America and Russia.
The year 2010 saw the band's further development and intensive touring schedule.
Their next album "Erebos" was supported by intensive tours both in Europe
and America with groups such as Hypocrisy, Sepultura, Rotting Christ,
Melechesh and Mayhem. The band also visited Brazil, Mexico and Russia
reaching as far east as Siberia with their shows. Coming back home from the
tour, HATE shot their second official video for the title track "Erebos".
In 2012 the band inked a new record agreement with Austrian-based label
Napalm Records. The album titled "Solarflesh" was released under the
new flag in the beginning of 2013 receiving a lot of praise in the music press
and gaining the band more recognition the world over.
In March/April 2013 the band was traveling through Germany on a European tour
accompanying Sweden's death metallers Hypocrisy. In the early morning of
April 6th, HATE's bassist Sławek "Mortifier" Archangielskij died
in his sleep near the city of Munchberg. He was discovered lifeless in the
morning by other band members. An ambulance was immediately called in and Slawek
was reanimated, but to no avail. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was
cardiac arrhythmia. Mortifer's tragic and unexpected passing was a hard
blow and the band's continuation was at question for some time. After a few
weeks, however, the musicians announced that they would come back. Accompanied
by Mortifer's wife Aleksandra on bass guitar, HATE took
part in Hellfest Festival in France in June 2013. Afterwards the band
played a series of summer festivals around Europe with a session bassist and
announced that they would work on a new record. In March 2014 HATE set
out to tour Europe again, this time in the company of Norway's Kampfar,
and in June they entered Hertz Studio in Poland to start recording their
9-th full-length album with release pegged for early 2015 through Naplam
Records.
Having released "Crusade:Zero" record, HATE have toured Europe in
company of Belphegor and Vital Remains, and later visited the southern
(Balkan) countries teaming up with Decapitated and Thy Disease. In
May 2016, the band was touring Russia and Baltic Republics with Fleshgod
Apocalypse and a month later paid their second major visit to Mexico for a
headline tour. In December 2017, HATE hit the road once again for another
European tour, this time as a headliner. In the meantime, the group was working
on a new material entitled „Tremendum”. The recording session started in
September 2017 at Custom 34 Studio in Poland with Arek „Malta”
Malczewski behind the console. HATE's new album is now ready for a
release on May 5th 2017 via Napalm Records.
