Hate Eternal returns with a revised line-up on their highly anticipated Metal Blade Records debut "Fury & Flames". The frantic jagged riffing has remained intact while the material present on this record feels like a mix between "King Of All Kings" and the critically acclaimed "I Monarch". This album combines "King Of All Kings" whirlwind assault with "I Monarch" more groove and deliberately paced nature. Jade Simonetto is able to hold his own with his relentless blasting and complex work of the kit as he supersedes luminaries Tim Yeung and Derek Roddy. Erik Rutan delivers his most convincing, emotive and varied work behind the mic to date. Together with guitarist Shaune Kelley (ex-Ripping Corpse, Dim Mak) Rutan lays down an impressive wall of sound with now two guitars at his disposal. The result is a multi-layered and detailed approach that unveils significant details upon repeated listening sessions. As always, Rutan fills the tracks with his characteristic and inimitable jaw-dropping lead/solo work. Also of note is the flowing session bass provided by Alex Webster of Cannibal Corpse. His bass lies prominently in the mix and his work is nothing short of amazing on all aspects. The production by mainman Erik Rutan and his Mana Recordings facilities is in essence pretty similar to the work on the band’s last album "I Monarch" while all around there are increased levels of texture, warmth, clarity and definition on all instruments. Coming with stunning artwork by resident artist Paul Romano (Mastodon, The Red Chord, Trivium) "Fury & Flames" will undoubtly secure and cement Hate Eternal’s position as one of the genre’s most vicious and visionary practitioners in both Europe as the US.
