HATE ETERNAL: New Video Interview With ERIK RUTAN Available

February 8, 2008

Erik Rutan of HATE ETERNAL recently spoke to Buzznet's TheReaper about the group's new album and Erik's producing career. Watch the five-minute clip below.

A brand new HATE ETERNAL track, entitled "Bringer of Storms", is available for download at DownloadPunk. The song comes off the group's new album, "Fury and Flames", due on February 19 via Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2005's "I, Monarch" is said to be the band's most diverse and emotionally fuelled record to date, due mainly in part to the passing of bassist and good friend Jared Anderson.

HATE ETERNAL founder and vocalist/guitarist Erik Rutan recently did an interview with MTV.com where he stated, "Jared was one of my best friends, and his passing away really affected me and influenced this record a lot. It's a very dark and heavy record — not just heavy as in 'heavy metal,' but heavy-hearted as well."

"Fury and Flames" features new members Shaune Kelley on second guitar and Jade Simonetto on drums. The addition of Shaune means that this will be the first time HATE ETERNAL will be able to perform as a four-piece live — something fans will be able to experience when the band heads out with labelmates THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. Alex Webster of CANNIBAL CORPSE fame stepped in on bass for the recording, but due to his hectic schedule with CANNIBAL will not be able to tour with the band.
