Hate Eternal: 'I, Monarch' information

USA death metallers Hate Eternal have completed the work on their 3rd album 'I, Monarch'. The album was recorded and mixed by Hate Eternal frontman Erik Rutan (Soilent Green, Into The Moat) at his own Mana Studios in Tampa, Florida. Artist Paul Romano (Mastodon, Trivium) is handling the cover art.
Hate Eternal commented: "With dizzying musicality and creativity, Hate Eternal's third album, 'I, Monarch', propels metal into the next dimension. The fearsomely talented and broad-minded musical trinity of guitarist/vocalist Erik Rutan, drummer Derek Roddy, and bassist Randy Piro unites in new and transcendent ways on 'I, Monarch'. Torrential blastbeats (perhaps truly the fastest yet recorded) meld with inhuman polyrhythms whilst lyrical firestorms rain down with unmatched rage - yet the groove underlying the chaos is of collossal proportions. Amidst shredding guitar leads and warp-speed drums, strange and unexpected sounds lie lurking - Tibetan drums, tabla, didjeridoo... With 'I, Monarch' Hate Eternal have struck a groundbreaking balance between groove and chaos, soul and precision, focused aggression and open-minded musical vision."
