LET THE FELLATING OF HATE ETERNAL CONTINUE!

In case you can’t tell, we’re really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY stoked Phoenix Amongst the Ashes, the new Hate Eternal album. Phoenix Amongst the Ashes is the moment Erik Rutan’s entire career has been leading towards — it’s heavy, it’s catchy, and it’s innovative. This is the best death metal album of 2011 so far, and other bands are going to have to work pretty hard to top it.

And if for some reason you still doubt this assertion, here are two more pieces of evidence:

• The Deciblog is streaming a new song, “Lake Ablaze,” which will find your ear drums’ clit, or otherwise suffocate trying. It’s not just the best thing you’re gonna hear today, it’s the best thing you’re gonna hear this week and possibly until the next new Hate Eternal song is released, so go fucking listen to it right now.
• Metal Injection has posted the second of their exclusive series of Hate Eternal/Phoenix… making-of videos. You can check that out here. Also the first one is here if you need to catch-up. These vids should be icing on your Hater Eternal cake.

Phoenix Amongst the Ashes comes out May 10 on Metal Blade.
