5.0 out of 5 stars Hate Eternal... Ripping Corpse Attacks!, November 28, 1999

This review is from: Conquering the Throne (Audio CD)

"Conquering the Throne" is the stunning debut from death metal supergroup Hate Eternal, which features Eric Rutan of Morbid Angel and Doug Cerrito, of the now disbanded Suffocation. Apparently Rutan's relegation to a merely touring member of Morbid Angel left him with plenty of time and inspiration for the creation of the absolutely cutting-edge material which makes up this release. Eric penned or co-wrote over half of Morbid Angel's, "Domination" and his style for that unit is very much in evidence on "Conquering..." Jaw-dropping technical, brutal death metal is the order of the day on tracks like, "Catacombs," "By His Own Decree," and "Dethroned." Newcomer Tim Yeung displays a technical prowess on the drums seen only in veterans such Pete Sandoval and "Doc" from Vader. Blast beats galore anchor Rutan and Cerritos' psychotic, serrated riffing. Rutan makes an excellent debut as vocalist as well, with a style somewhere between former bandmate Dave Vincent and Glen Benton of Deicide. Warning! Anyone seeking tunes featuring saner or more diverse tempos like those on "Where the Slime Live" or "Hatework" from "Domination" should look elsewhere. Hate Eternal have taken up the challenge issued by pals Angelcorpse, "Mirror, mirror on the wall... Who's the fastest one of all?" Fans of the latest releases by Cryptopsy, Angelcorpse and Carolinian gods, Nile, will roll around in ecstasy as they are devastated by the speed and brutality featured on this outstanding debut recording.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced, brutal, technical death metal!, August 14, 2002

Yep -- I was definately not dissapointed here. C'mon, the two guitarists are Eric Rutan (Morbid Angel) and Doug Cerrito (Suffocation). How can't you dig this stuff, its an all-star cast. Eric rutan has a good low death metal scream that sounds really good throughout the whole album. Jared Anderson (the bassist of the band) has some cool high-pitched black-metal-ish back up vocals. The riffing on this record is EXTREMELY technical and fast. The riffs go by really fast, so that 90% of the songs are over in two minutes. Thats the only downside to this wonderful CD. Outstanding percussion courtesy of Tim Yeung and solos (obviously, we're dealing with two of death metals most influential bands!). Anyone into extreme brutal metal (ie, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy...) BUY THIS ALBUM!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!

Dear slipknot fan, and every other poser who thinks that music doesn't get any heavier than slipknot, limp bizkit, and korn,
None of us true metal fans want to hear your dumb@ss opinion. You dont see any of us writing reviews for your lousy music do you? Why dont you just keep listening to kroq, put on your sisters jeans, wear your cute little extra small t-shirt, comb your bangs in your ugly face, and do your little "hardcore dances". Leave this peticular music to the real fans of talent induced metal. Oh yeah, and we should run from you little nu metal queens, shall we? If your ever in the Orange County, California area, go ahead and look me up, I'll straighten you out. I speak for all the true metal heads when I say, "Put on your little slipknot clown mask and go play on the freeway". Cheers
