Hate Eternal... Ripping Corpse Attacks!, November 28, 1999
"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.

Hey slipknot fag, January 10, 2005
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

fah-q slipnot fan, January 6, 2005
DEAR SLIPNOT FAN,
DEATH METAL HAS BEEN AROUND BEFORE SLIPNOT'S MOTHERS SPAT THEM FROM THEIR INNERTS, SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK, AND YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU ARE A NU-METAL HOMO WHO CANNOT OBSERVE AND UNDERSTAND TRUE TALENT.I HOPE YOU HAVE A MISERABLE DEATH. THE ALBUM IS A GOOD ADDITION TO ANY DM FANS' COLLECTION. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WELL PRODUCED, TECHNICAL DEATH, CHECK OUT DECAPITATED, ORIGIN, VITAL REMAINS, CEPHALIC CARNAGE.
