Nirnaeth became an essential of the French extreme metal scene with a
devastating Black Death Metal.
In 2002 Yamaël (drums) joined Mutill (guitar) and Malaria
(bass). After a long search Zigouille (voice) will complete the line
up fall 2003.
Nirnaeth since then has shared stages with bands like Nunslaughter,
Necrodeath, Negura Bunget, Panchrysia, Gorath, Handful Of Hate, Asmodée,
Merrimack, Vorkreist, Lord, Otargos ...
From his two previous recordings, "Nothing But Ashes" (2004 demo / sold
out) and "Thrown Athwart The Darkness" (full length 2006 / Great Dane
Records / sold out), Nirnaeth has imposed its own style. Incisive,
brutal and effective, the titles of the band have received unanimously positive
opinions from the specialized press and fans.
In June 2008 Mutill obtained an endorsement from Laboga (Motorhead,
Behemoth, Annihilator, Hate Eternal, etc.).
"Splendour Of The Abyss" (Great Dane Records, december 2009) is
the second full lenght of Nirnaeth. Recorded at Studio Midnight,
"Splendour Of The Abyss" is more organic, more morbid and more intense.

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-god attitude. In 1992 the first demo "Abhorrence" was
released by a small underground label HateProductions. 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 Polish underground in which they remained
for 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,
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 ambient
elements appeared in the background of the main riffs. This kind of arrangements
were further developed on the next album titled “Anaclasis - a gospel of
malice and 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 Keep of Kalessin
and appeared on a few important festivals such as PartySan Open Air, Winter
Assault and more. In 2007 the band once again went on a European tour, this
time accompanied by their countrymen Decapitated. January 2008 saw
another album from HATE which was titled “Morphosis” and released
again via Listenable. The record showed fast musical development of the
band, as well as the production part. HATE got offers from numerous
festivals, such as Neurotic Death Fest, Brutal Assault, Screamfest, Metalcamp,
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 in both Europe and
America with groups such as Hypocrisy, Sepultura, Rotting Christ 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 group 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 with 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 contunuation was at
question for some time. After a few weeks, however, the musicians announced that
they would come back. Having 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 on a tour across Europe again, this time in the company
of Norway's Kampfar, and in June they entered Hertz Studio in
Poland to start recording the 9-th full-length album with release pegged for
early 2015 through Naplam Records. The new opus will come out under the
title of "Crusade:Zero".

HATE RELEASE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR
„VALLEY OF DARKNESS”! [2015.01.08] Extreme metal machine HATE, have released
the official video for the song „Valley of Darkness” from their upcoming
opus „Crusade:Zero”. The clip, which is today premiered on Metal
Hammer (GSA), Heavy Metal Artworks (UK) and Decibel (USA & Rest of the World)
was filmed, edited and produced by Redpig Production in Cracov/Poland
in Nov/Dec 2014.
Commented vocalist/guitarist Atf Sinner:„While you wait for
„Crusade:Zero” to attack your senses quite soon, we give you this
blasphemous and haunting picture for the song „Valley of Darkness”. I
chose this song as a first glimpse into „Crusade” because of its morbid
seriousness and blasphemous atmosphere which, I believe, constitues a main
foundation for the album. The song is a Requiem for the civilization as we know
it. All you do is „following a death cult caravan through valley of
darkness...”. Enjoy!
