September 13, 2010, 14 years ago
SkullsNBones.com's Metal Mark has issued an interview with HATE ETERNAL guitarist/vocalist Erik Rutan, conducted in late-August in Atlanta, GA. The following is an excerpt:
Q: With this being the last tour of 2010 for Hate Eternal, what is the plan for the rest of the year?
A: "We are going into pre-production for a month when we get home. We already got twelve or thirteen songs written, so we are going to finish those up and start recording the new album in October. That's the plan for now, and then we should be back in the spring to start up touring again."
Q: With every album that Hate Eternal has released, it seems that you always create a new level of heaviness. What is the new stuff sounding like?
A: "Man this record is really expanding the boundaries. The fast, complex stuff is super fast and super complex, and then some of the heavy stuff is unbelievably heavy. I guess I would just say it's expanding the horizon from what we've previously done, but still keeping the intensity that we have always had ya know. We are just trying to do different things without changing the mold. We are always going to be a brutal, extreme death metal band. That's never going to change. A lot of the focus of this record is on really heavy, evil dissonant stuff like we've done in the past, but with a different vibe. It still has the same Hate Eternal feel for sure, so I'm excited for people to hear it."
