The concept of Abyssic Hate revolves around the incessant belief that: '99.9% of humans should be terminated'. The human race is the most absolute abomination in the history of creation, and with an exceedingly small amount of redeemable features.

Most releases of Abyssic Hate are produced in extremely limited amounts for various reasons. Quite often the production quality of these demos is very poor.

The sole member, Shane Rout, also performed in Blood Duster, Deströyer 666 and Hecatomb

Attack!
Abyssic Hate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a night of the fullmoon
A blood-pact we all signed
To fall upon the monastery
With violence in our minds
Invading their holy temple
The enemy is at hand
Arisen from a slumber
We attack them while unmanned

We strike them down with sharpened blades
And whip their flesh till it bleeds
We leave their dismembered corpses around
As a message to take heed

Kill them all on sight
By painful means they'll die

For we must keep this planet clean
Of the Christian disease

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abyssic Hate's song "Attack!" depict an attack on a Christian monastery by a group of individuals who have formed a blood pact under the light of a full moon. The violence and aggression in their hearts manifest in their invasion of the holy temple. The attackers, who have been awakened from their slumber, proceed to brutally murder the monks and leave their mutilated bodies as a warning to those who follow the Christian faith. The lyrics emphasize the ruthlessness of the attackers and their determination to eradicate what they perceive to be a threat to the purity of the planet. The song appears to reflect the themes of hatred, violence, and intolerance towards religious beliefs that are often associated with black metal music.

The lyrics of "Attack!" are characteristically dark and aggressive, which is consistent with the genre of black metal music. The song was released in 2000, which was the same year the founder of Abyssic Hate, Andrew Harris, was convicted of firebombing three churches in Australia. The song's lyrics have been criticized as promoting and glorifying violent acts against religious groups. The band has been accused of promoting extremist ideologies and inciting hatred towards religious minorities. Despite the controversy surrounding the band's lyrics, Abyssic Hate has gained a sizeable following in the underground black metal scene.

On a night of the fullmoon
During a fullmoon night,

A blood-pact we all signed
We made a vow sealed by blood,

To fall upon the monastery
To attack the monastery,

With violence in our minds
With the intention to use violence,

Invading their holy temple
Invading their sacred place of worship,

The enemy is at hand
The opponent is present,

Arisen from a slumber
Awakened from a state of inactivity,

We attack them while unmanned
We strike them while they are unprepared,

We strike them down with sharpened blades
We attack them with sharp weapons,

And whip their flesh till it bleeds
We lash their bodies until their skin breaks,

We leave their dismembered corpses around
We scatter their cut-up bodies as a warning,
