Erik Rutan assembled an all-star cast for the very first Hate Eternal album, featuring ex-Suffocation guitarist Doug Cerrito and future Morbid Angel drummer Tim Yeung.

Whilst the band's trademark relentless, wall-of-noise sound was still finding its feet, Rutan's unique riffing style is immediately recognisable, making this an essential listen for Hate Eternal die-hards and fans of late '90s brutal death metal alike.
