'''Hate Eternal''' is a Brutal [[death metal]] band from [[St. Petersburg, Florida]].
==Biography==
Hate Eternal was formed in 1997. The group's original line-up included Erik Rutan - guitars/vocals, bassist and co-vocalist [[Jared Anderson]], drummer [[Tim Yeung]], and guitarist [[Doug Cerrito]] of the band [[Suffocation (band)|Suffocation]].
In 2002, drummer [[Derek Roddy]] (formerly of Nile, Divine Empire and Malevolent Creation) replaced Tim Yeung, and the band set forth to record their second album, King of All Kings as a trio with Erik, Jared and Derek. That summer, Erik Rutan calmly parted ways with Morbid Angel, stating that he wished to devote more time to Hate Eternal.
What followed was a whirlwind of international touring to promote King of All Kings, including a noted video on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball for the single, "Powers That Be". Jared Anderson left the group soon after due to an admitted drug problem. South Florida musician Randy Piro (a friend of Derek's) quickly stepped up to the plate as Jared's replacement in the group, and the band pressed on. After completing their last tour for the album in December of 2003, the group began a brief hiatus.
2004 saw Hate Eternal begin work on the much-anticipated follow-up to King of All Kings, entitled "I, Monarch". Recording began in the fall, and the album would eventually be released in June of 2005. Hailed by critics and fans alike, the album put forth an innovative new musical approach in extreme metal, while retaining the elements of speed and brutality that dominate the genre. The group's individual and collective talents in musicianship and production shined like never before.
After an internally difficult U.S. tour over the summer of 2005 and with a number of pending business problems, the group cancelled their European tour, scheduled for the fall. After spending much of the winter dealing with internal differences and personal situations, Derek Roddy announced his departure from Hate Eternal in late March 2006.
With pending tour obligations, Erik Rutan and Randy Piro continued on and recruited former Dying Fetus drummer [[Kevin Talley]] for U.S. appearances in the Spring, and Reno Killerich for the group's rescheduled European run. As of the July 26, 2007 Erik Rutan announced Jade Simonetto as the band's new permanent drummer.<ref>[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=77572 BLABBERMOUTH.NET - HATE ETERNAL Announces New Drummer<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
To date, Hate Eternal have released four albums: ''Conquering the Throne'' (1999), ''King of All Kings'' (2002), ''I, Monarch'' (2005) and ''Fury & Flames'' (2008). The last three full length albums were produced by Rutan. Hate Eternal has signed a contract with Metal Blade Records and released their new album "Fury & Flames" on February 19th of 2008.
A music video for the song "Bringer of Storms" was shot overnight January 16th, 2008 by [http://www.mgenyc.com David Brodsky]. Earlier in the day, the band had been in a minor traffic accident which managed to disable their brand-new van. Securing a rental and rushing to NY to play their first show with the new lineup, Hate Eternal arrived at BB King's just as the headlining act, The Black Dahlia Murder, were leaving the stage. Still wearing their jackets, Hate Eternal went onstage and performed 5 songs to the remaining crowd. Having completed that leg of the journey, they then drove into Brooklyn to shoot with [http://www.mgenyc.com Brodsky]. Once the shoot concluded, at approximately 7am, the band had not slept in 48 hours, yet continued to their next destination to rejoin the tour. The video aired on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball in February 2008.
