Hate Eternal Biography

Hate Eternal Founded in the late 1990s, Hate Eternal is an amelodic, ultra-fast death metal/grindcore band that is led by former Morbid Angel and Ripping Corpse guitarist Erik Rutan. While those bands employed Rutan as a strictly a guitarist, Hate Eternal was a change for Rutan in that it found him doing much of the lead singing in addition to playing guitar. Nonetheless, Hate Eternal's late 1990s material was quite similar to the type of things that Rutan had done in the past. With Rutan having recruited fellow guitarist Doug Cerrito (formerly of Suffocation), bassist Jared Anderson and drummer Tim Yeung, Hate Eternal signed with Wicked World in 1999 and recorded its first album, Conquering The Throne. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
