Today’s band is Abyssic Hate, from Australia. Abyssic Hate is a one-man band, and the band was formed way back in 1993. Guy behind the band is Shane Rout, and he’s a total jackass, but thats not important. His music with Abyssic Hate is just amazing. The lyrical theme is, you guessed it, misanthropy, depression, suicide and, err, anti-christianity. And yeah, these themes is quite stereotypical these days..

Interesting trivia? The band’s name is taken from the Darkthrone song “In the shadow of the horns”. The guy on the famous cover of “Suicidal Emotions” is not Shane Rout himself, but norwegian Einar Andre Fredriksen of the doom metal band “Funeral”. He commited suicide 3 years later.

Speaking of the cover, let’s have a look…

Abyssic Hate – Suicidal Emotions (2000)

01. Depression – Part 1
02. Betrayed
03. Depression – Part 2
04. Despondency

First released May 2000, by No Colours Records. You’ll probably notice the Burzum-worship on this album, and that’s okay. It’s not as good as Burzum, though.

You can get this masterpiece here.

I hope you enjoy!
