HATE ETERNAL: “Infernus” Album Due In August

Friday, 29th May 2015

The Erik Rutan-led HATE ETERNAL will release their new album, Infernus, on August 24 via Season Of Mist. The album was recorded at HATE ETERNAL founder and principal member Erik Rutan’s (guitar, vocals) Mana Recording Studio (CANNIBAL CORPSE, MOUNTAIN GOATS, GOATWHORE) in St. Petersburg, Florida.

HATE ETERNAL has just hit the road in the U.S. as part of this year’s “Metal Alliance” tour, which sees the band performing alongside DEICIDE, ENTOMBED A.D., and more.

HATE ETERNAL last year announced the addition of drummer Chason Westmoreland to the group’s ranks. The native of Las Vegas, Nevada has been playing drums since the tender age of five and has toured with such renowned acts as FALLUJAH, BURNING THE MASSES, ENFOLD DARKNESS and OCEANO.

Rutan commented on Westmoreland joining the band: “Chason is such an amazing talent and a very determined guy. He came down to try out in June and literally blew us away! We bonded instantly musically and personally, and JJ and I knew he was the right guy and drummer for HATE ETERNAL. Chason has a high motor, hits hard, plays fast and is a very diverse and dynamic player.

“The drums on this album have a very primal and visceral feel to them and I think he did a tremendous job on the recording.”

Westmoreland stated about his contribution to the new album: “The new material is very challenging and has a lot going on. I put everything I had into this album and I’m very excited about the results. “
