Wow...I'm at a loss for words. I hit play and instantly became glued to this album front to back, didn't skip anywhere at any time. Hate Eternal, what have you done? Everything that equals death metal masterpiece is what you guys did, what a work of art!!! My favorite album of the year, love you guys👍👍👍
The first 3 singles released gave me high hopes for the album, but the other songs on the album surpass them by leaps and bounds. The last 4 songs are absolutely amazing. GREAT ALBUM!
about the artwork, from the author Eliran Kantor Den: "all I can say is that it's inspired by Erik's insight to his lyrics. But the plot does not appear directly in any of the songs - the character is using the arrows shot at him as a weapon against the vultures who came to finish the job."
Znakomita płyta !!! Wreście wpuścili powietrza do tego swego hermetycznego brzmienia przez co znacznie lepiej się słucha niż bywało to w przeszłości.Muzycznie dużo zwolnień,melodii ,także w solówkach co mnie bardzo odpowiada.Oczywiście nadal się znajdują intensywne momenty..Plyta lepsza od kilku ostatnich albumów Morbid Angel.
Saw these guys for the first time last night; absolutely incredible performance. More power and energy from a 3 piece than you get from most 5 piece bands. Truly remarkable.
jhonidrums They’ve had a couple of straight burner albums that didn’t let up the gas, I’m kind of glad that Erik is going for the best of all approach with this record and the last one.
the 300 bpm double bass on For Whom We Have Lost are all single strokes he talks about it in an interview, to this day the fastest and most musical double bass ive heard performed on an album. Just absolute insanity. Hannes is truly the master of metal drums.
Lmao wait what the f u c k are you talking about? Ik Rutan used to play for them but Hate Eternal has a totally different sound and that includes the influence of Doug Cerrito where he helped to forge the sound on the first album stfu.
Saw ruton with corpse last night in nyc. Dude crushed it. No drop off from pat O'Brien. In fact he had a better presence than pat. Super high energy. Could tell he was pumped to be playing with corpse
Fuckin' amazing album,absolute MASTERPIECE!!! Rutan's solo work incredible,those riffs tear off my face!!! Erik Rutan never let us be disappointed! Greetings from Orlando!!!
Not one song has a sense of monotonous noise. Every note adds depth. Listening for like the tenth time, Dark age of Ruin's guitar tone makes me go crazy.
SO UNDERRATED. Best deathmetal album for the last few years. Its raw and unadulterated in brutalality. Vengeance Striketh and Nothingness of Being will not leave my mind's space.
Wow, just wow. In a year of incredibly disappointing releases, this is absolutely incredible. Best Hate Eternal has ever sounded. Buying both CD and vinyl, 12/10 guys.
Hate Eternal feels to me like it's one of the only bands that haven't lost their edge over the years. It feels just as brutal today as it sounded when I first heard I Monarch. A lot of bands I like changed their styles, with recent examples from Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir and while I won't say that they're bad, they definitely sound different now and I don't enjoy them as much anymore. Even Morbid Angel's comeback felt underwhelming to be honest. At the same time Hate Eternal, somehow, keeps getting better and more brutal. This album reached new heights, Rutan's growls are on point and the drums feel better than ever; they've always had great drummers, my favorite was probably Derek Roddy, but now with Grossmann on drums it sounds even better. Absolute beast album 9.5/10.
This makes me giggle then shit myself. Every second of this is absolutely destructive and i fucking love it. This stands up to anything in the past 20 years easily.... And gives it a middle finger.
I love "King Of All Kings" and this last album sounds on the production better than "King Of All Kings" but I like more on drums Jade Simonetto in "Fury & Flames", more technical the drums. In "Upon Desolate Sands" Hannes Grossman play the drums very nice, but the most are blast beats and more blast beats. Is a good drummer but I prefer to Derek Roddy and Jade Simonetto on the albums who I have named. Another possibility is that the drums on this last album were bad recorded. Is like if only in the recording the blast beats were recorded good, but sounds like the cymbals are only one, because sounds equal all the cymbals. The production on this album is the best of Hate Eternal albums, but for me on the cymbals I believe that was bad produced (not recorded). I don't know if you knows what I say about the sound of the cymbals, because seems like if sounds all of them like one only cymbal. And something that always makes this band is play with various cymbals and for me in this album sounds as only one. I don't know if you understand what I try to say...
The title track beats anything I've heard in a while. This band always brings out the elitist metal head in me and for that I am grateful. Hail Hate Eternal!
Damn Guys Bravo. The riffs are memorable and songs are well constructed end played honestly and powerful, Leads rule. Every thing I wanted from H.E. Great Album!!!!!
I like the shorter albums for this sort of music, 35-40min - like old Slayer. Nothing wrong with longer albums though, I find the intense onslaught results in ear fatigue/boredom when you're getting to the hour mark. This along with previous HE albums is excellent.
My friend just told me about this album. Big ups! This is huge and I can't believe I'm just now finding out about it!!!! Got it in the shopping cart now! Cheers!!!
tbh I've slowly come to believe that he's the ultimate drummer for extreme metal, and this doesn't dissuade that opinion. He's also probably the busiest metal musician I can think of in 2018, given that there are 3 albums that have released so far this year with him handling the drum work, along with tours with Alkaloid and Hate Eternal.
As far as busy drummers go, Look up Kevin Paradis. He's one of my favorite modern drummers, and he gets hired by bands all over the world to do studio work for them.
I wonder how it will be with John Longstreth, I remember seeing him live with Origin a few years back and he wasn't super tight at that particular show... But Origin is Origin, y'know, and he's welcome in HE in my book!
Never took the time to check them out until a couple of years ago, even though i had heard the name quite a few times. Been following Erik´s work since then, and what a perfect replace for Pat, although my perfect CC formation includes them both.
@@theworstguitarever1470 I would put MA top 5 in the following order. 1. Covenant 2. Altars of Madness 3. Blessed are the Sick. 4. Domination. 5. Formulas Fatal to the Flesh.
Dammit. Just stop it Seasons of Mist. You just have to keep releasing these great albums from awesome bands that I just cannot not add to my collection. Im sure im helping to put some ones kid through college with my addiction. What a great year for metal.
I don't think Eric can make a bad album , I remember when I moved to Tampa Mike Poggione(Bassist for Monstrosity) Me and him got a place together and he asked me if I had heard about Eric Rutan's death metal project??? I said no then he pulled out the Alas/ Hate Eternal CD and I was impressed, Then I picked up Conquering the Throne and I was hooked ever since. 🤘💀🤘
Yep I was a diehard Eric Rutan fan after that album . I saw Hate Eternal open for Cannibal Corpse in 2000 and knew right away they were a special band and Eric was one of the very best guitarist in death metal by far .
These solos are majestic as fuck. My favorite solo on this album is on Dark Age of Ruin. Hope I get to meet the guy at the morbid cannibal tour in Santa Ana CA.
Blown away. It's more melodic and...ummmm...even a little catchy here and there. Well, catchy and melodic for them. Probably my favorite album by them. Clearer, but not less brutal. Amazing.
Great album. Has a nice old school death metal feel to it. Very well done...I agree the solos are top notch. Thanx for upload....buying a hardcopy for my commute to hell and back!

I met Eric in person at a gig in 2006. He was selling shirts and apparel before the show and gave me a HE sticker.
A fantastic person.
Erik is an ancient Babylonian warrior that has time traveled to our era.
🤘EXCELLENT comment ☝️🤘
and then learned to fucking SHRED when he turned up lol
truth is stranger than fiction...
Eric Rutan is a musical genius. Period.

U should try the other albums as well , masterpeices .

@Sarah Wolfe INCANTATION, the sect of vile divinities
@@henrygriffen40 guys you should listen to some Kevin Frasard !!! He nailed the death metal !!
Top 10 death albums of all time. Chart toppin hits!
This is my first time listening to this band,daaaaaaaaaamn. I'm hooked. Time to spin another discography....
The first 3 singles released gave me high hopes for the album, but the other songs on the album surpass them by leaps and bounds. The last 4 songs are absolutely amazing. GREAT ALBUM!
I said the singles were good, but the rest were even better, "Surpass them by leaps and bounds"
They sound the best that they have ever sounded since their first album.
Definitely a lot more sophisticated than Erik’s previous works.
This album is gold
Erik Rutan..............what can I say that hasn't already been said?? This guy is a musical genius! Keep up the amazing work Mr. Rutan

He saved the best riffs for Hate Eternal
finally a production where i can hear both bass and the guitars. thank god they nailed finally.
Phenomenal. Eric Rutan,thank you for smashing our faces in with this gem!
.........again and again!!
Season of Mist has so much great records! Keep the support!
They certainly do, followed closely by Profound Lore.
This is a great record with top-notch musicianship, great songwriting and production.

Hannes grossmann is a machine, the Drums are clear and heavy and the guitar is probably the most Strong part on the whole álbum...9/10 .
So what is -1 point for?
@@constantinea8149the band cud do an album more agressive, with more blast beats and more technical stuff Its is -1 in this case

@@PRHILL9696 Keep telling yourself that. It's just that Illud was so bad that it seemed good.

The guitar work on this album... it's fucking fantastic. So good.
I think this is one of the best death metal albums ever now
Never listened to this album. WOW. Mr.Rutan you’re a genius. Sucha inspiration here. Nastyyyyyy
This Album is a masterpiece!
Saw ruton with corpse last night in nyc. Dude crushed it. No drop off from pat O'Brien. In fact he had a better presence than pat. Super high energy. Could tell he was pumped to be playing with corpse
Death metal of the highest flights. Great album.
better death metal album2018 :)
@@archimonde1626 YES ! ONE OF THE BEST ! IN MY TOP 5
20:52 is where I begin to shed tears like a woman at a Bocelli concert.
I just realized that the main melodic riff in All Hope Destroyed is the same than Phoenix Amongst the Ashes… We’re all cycling in loops forever👹
Fuckin' amazing album,absolute MASTERPIECE!!! Rutan's solo work incredible,those riffs tear off my face!!! Erik Rutan never let us be disappointed! Greetings from Orlando!!!
I don't think Hate Eternal are known for their breakdowns, but the breakdown at 15:51 is absolutely fucking disgusting.
Not one song has a sense of monotonous noise. Every note adds depth. Listening for like the tenth time, Dark age of Ruin's guitar tone makes me go crazy.
That is a good observation- it is important for music to have contrast and cadence.
Here we go again! \m/
And yet again, Season of mist. Thanks for the stream!
Our pleasure!
The bass just laying over the drums adds so much heaviness and power.
Awesome album. My pre-order came a week ago. Probably the earliest I've ever received a pre-order.
SO UNDERRATED. Best deathmetal album for the last few years. Its raw and unadulterated in brutalality. Vengeance Striketh and Nothingness of Being will not leave my mind's space.
This is one of my favorites of theirs so far. They always maintain that raw, organic, yet ultra tight sound.
Hail Hate Eternal!
Wow, just wow. In a year of incredibly disappointing releases, this is absolutely incredible. Best Hate Eternal has ever sounded. Buying both CD and vinyl, 12/10 guys.
This is the best album to come out in years
I'm buying it! Great album! Listen to the amazing bass sound!

Total agreement on all points.
Behemoth has gotten softer to me . I still love them. But i like the older stuff better . I agree with you for sure
100% agree
Behemoths new album was pretty good tho dude ; they are starting to play older songs so its the best of both worlds.
@@dylanschmeichel2008 ya they do still play the older songs live . I have seen them live they put on one of the best shows I've ever seen
This makes me giggle then shit myself. Every second of this is absolutely destructive and i fucking love it. This stands up to anything in the past 20 years easily.... And gives it a middle finger.
Upon Desolate Sands, that song oh my, you are very special comin with that heaviness....
I've never been into Hate Eternal but this album is top notch
DerelictEarth 100% agree never could get into them but this album is great
Im with you! This is badass...
Same with me.
\\hell//\\hell//\\hell//
I agree. This album definitely grabs my attention much more than the previous ones.
so glad that Hannes finally played on a fucking brutal album! it fits him like a glove! \m/

Hate Eternal mops the floor with almost every single Death Metal band that came after them. Period. Point. Blank.
my sis once said she felt like she was in hell when i was playing a Hate eternal track. that's exactly how DM should be.
If this is hell … not a problem lol. Sounds heavenly to me lol !.
The title track beats anything I've heard in a while. This band always brings out the elitist metal head in me and for that I am grateful. Hail Hate Eternal!
love how technical this dethmetal is
Im not even fan of DM but this is definetly incredible piece of music.
There's even better DM than this, Immolation, Death and Carcass to name a few.

This has a 90s metal feel to it, most probably why its so good.
Hannes Grossman is the Beast!
Incredible drummer and composer. Him and Rutan together is so awesome!!⚡💥💥
Totally agreed! But having seen them in concert for KoaK, and I,M, I can't help but miss Derek Roddy.

If someone asked me to define Death Metal using one band, it would be Hate Eternal. Hannes is such a good drummer for this band too. Damn.
ALL HOPE DESTROYED all hope of ever hearing anything as devastatingly beautiful as that Brutal Fucking Song.
Still leading the way as the most savagely brutal & uncompromising band of all time!
God bless you for this comment. TRUE !!!
Yeah they haven't given an inch regardless of all the stupid trends to come and go since Hate Eternal started .
this album is just perfect!
