While the pandemic races across the globe, the HateSphere camp has its own share of ‘events’. Esse decided to leave the band to pursue other projects. People age, priorities shift and so forth… but fear not. To help us out with future live shows (in 2024???) we’ve borrowed the very talented and vicious front beast Michael Olsson (Blood Eagle, Defacing God, Caro).

 

This means that vocal duties are in very capable hands and we’re looking forward to sharing the stage with him. We can’t wait to get back on the road but for now we sit and wait for the world to open up again.

 

To make the wait a bit more bearable we’ve chosen to release our cover of Dio’s ‘Stand Up And Shout’ to the world. This track has previously only been available on the Japanese edition of ‘Reduced To Flesh’. Even though we’re not currently looking for a new permanent vocalist, we are however spending this worldwide lockdown writing material for our 11th album. In the meantime, blast ‘Stand Up And Shout’ and crack open a cold one. We wish you all a happy quarantine and we’ll see you on the other side.

 

 

Hell is (still) here. Hatesphere.

Hand-made, old-school, real, in-your-face metal that will for sure make your head bang until the neck snaps. That´s HATESPHERE!

 

Let´s face it. The technological progress most certainly didn´t stop in front of the modern days music market. Nowadays artists and bands literally can write, record and release their music out off their own bedrooms, which by consequence means more and more bands being out there and yes, competing with each other.

This being said, it´s without a doubt a great success for a band to have stayed on top of the game for almost two decades without having disowned its musical roots and values. And this is what HateSphere stand for - still being the tough to the bone Danish Dukes of Thrash- and Death Metal!

 

Formed in Aarhus, Denmark by guitarist Peter “Pepe” Hansen in 2000, HateSphere is one of a handful of bands reigniting the flame of '80s speed metal by way of the so-called Scandinavian neo-thrash movement (spearheaded by the likes of Arch Enemy and The Haunted). The band quickly overpowered the Danish metal scene, while concurrently setting an immeasurable new standard for thrash metal domestically and abroad.
HateSphere’s first three albums, all of them under the leadership of the Italian metal label Scarlet Records upgraded the band’s status from local sensation to Europe’s hottest up and coming thrash quintet.

Having released six more highly praised sophomore albums via SPV Records, Napalm Records and Massacre Records in the following years and having been able to support those musical jewelries by numerous successful tours throughout Europe, Japan, China and the U.S., plus having gathered a number of musical nominations.

HateSphere undeniably did manage to make a stand for themselves within the international metal scene.
Even though the band has been undergoing several changes within their line-up over the years, it never stopped them - but quite the contrary motivated them even more to progress both musically and personally.

 

Not surprisingly this constant and hard work is what encouraged pioneer bands like Hypocrisy, Crowbar, Soilwork, Chimaira, The Black Dahlia Murder and Gojira to decide to hit the roads with HateSphere and bring their energetic live performances to those stage we all love together.

 

To honour the band´s sights on old-school values and the roots that got them started 18 years ago and by this to also close the circle of a successful and productive business relationship, HateSphere and Scarlet Records decided to join forces together again for the band´s 10th full-length studio album, which has been released Oct. 19th, 2018. Just like Tue Madsen being an inextricable part of the band´s team since 2005 this new ear catcher is being recorded at Antfarm Studios again.

Hell is here - HateSphere!
