HATEFUL is a three piece Death Metal band out of Italy. The band started out back in 1997 as a one man band and then added members, lost members and added them again. They have gone through a lot of changes over the years, just like most bands. One thing has stayed the same though, and that's the fact they play unrelenting old school Death Metal music. They have a style of European Death Metal of the mid '90's with a bit of '90's American Death Metal thrown in the mix. The band plays some ultra tight and extreme Death Metal with a technical edge. The technical parts could be some newer influences that you would find in a lot of the Deathcore type bands of today. Their musicis very heavy and extremely brutal all through out. It reminds me of the good old days when Death Metal was just starting to really pick up in the '90's. They do throw in some slight Speed Metal elements within the guitars at times too. The vocals are done in a mid ranged heavy and thick Death growl style. If you were to merge the best eras of MORBID ANGEL, MALEVOLENT CREATION, SUFFOCATION, GORGUTS & SINISTER all together, then you would end up with HATEFUL!
