Hate Eternal was formed in 1996 by Eric Rutan who has performed in legendary bands such Morbid Angel and Ripping Corpse. However, tours with Morbid Angel took most of his time so the band actually started in 1999. He wanted to make a band full of hate and only wanted extreme and fast musicians, so he found Tim Yeung to handle the drums. Eric Rutan has spent most of his time as guitarist, but now he also handles vocals. Eric also recruited the well known guitarist Doug Cerrito (ex-Suffocation), and Jared Anderson as bassist.
In 1999 the band released their debut album, "Conquering the Throne". They blew the audience away with its sheer brutality, and got worldwide attention. Since the release, they have been touring nonstop. Eventually, Tim Yeung and Doug Cerrito left the band, but Tim Yeung was quickly replaced by Derek Roddy of Nile and Malevolent Creation.
In 2002 they released another masterpiece, "King Of All Kings".
