Mikael Ehlert and Anders Gyldenøhr left the band May 2007 after supporting Megadeth at Vega, Copenhagen
The group formed in 1993 originally under the the name Cauterized then Necrosis but after their demos they changed the name to Hatesphere.
2001 was the year where a dark and aggressive sphere began to expand from the high north! This was the year where the self-entitled debut from Danish agro thrashers Hatesphere was released upon the world. The unique mix of aggression, groove and melody quickly established Hatesphere as the leading act in Danish metal.
In 2002 Hatesphere entered the Jailhouse studio to record their 2. album "Bloodred Hatred" which showed the band from a faster and more melodic edge with blistering guitar solos and a wide range of vocal abuse! The band was clearly drawn towards a more complex, aggressive and catchy thrash metal approach compared to the debut. "Bloodred Hatred" won the Danish Metal Award 2002 for "Best Album".
After a massive amount of concerts and tours around Europe with bands as The Haunted, Testament, Mnemic and Mastodon, Hatesphere once again entered studio to record a mini cd with the remarkable title "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Black". Again, lots of concerts were played, and on stage the band showed a high-energy performance that blew away both audience and press. In 2003 Hatesphere won the title as "Best Live Band" in the Danish Metal Awards. 2004 Hatesphere once again entered the Jailhouse studio to record their 3rd album called "Ballet Of The Brute". Once again, the sphere gained another layer, as the record turned out to be a lot more aggressive and straight-in-your-face brutal than the earlier albums - but still with the significant touch of melody and groove that represents the Hatesphere sound.
This time the band hooked up with all time thrash kings of Exodus for an extensive tour of good ol' friendly violent fun! The Summer Of The Brute 2004 also took the band to new territories as they toured with New Orleans sludgecore veterans, Crowbar. After thrashing the hell out of festivals all over Europe, Hatesphere returned to the high north to write new material. The new stuff resulted in "The Killing EP" which was meant as an appetizer for the forthcoming album that was scheduled for recording only 5 months later…
During those 5 months, Hatesphere choose to tour for 3 months with Kreator, Dark Tranquility and the mighty Morbid Angel, and then take 2 intensive months to write the new thrash powerhouse – “The Sickness Within”. Intense must be the best word to describe this process, and the album clearly portraits a band that works best under stress, as the result is 11 tracks of over-the-top thrash metal anno 2005!
With the release of “The Sickness Within” in September through their new label SPV/Steamhammer, Hatesphere set new standards in modern-thrash. The metal community in their home country not only pushed them into the album charts the first week it hit stores, but also awarded them “Album of the Year” and “Best Production” at the 2005 Danish Metal Awards!!!! Hatesphere and “The Sickness Within” were nominated in five catagories, and won the two most important!
This album took the band out on tours with Soilwork, Constructdead, Chimaira + lots of other great bands. Once again, the band proves that nobody delivers the metal as deadly in concert as this Danish quintet… to be continued
In early 2007 Hatesphere released their 5th studio album Serpent Smiles and Killer Eyes, which took them to China as the first European metal band in China.
In late 2007 the front man Jacob Bredahl, and the rest of HateSphere decided that Jacob shouldn't be the singer of the band anymore. Jacob has later said that his leaving was due to losing the "fire" for HateSphere.
In early 2009 HateSphere released their 6th studio album "To the nines" on Napalm Records - the album later won the "Album of the year" award at the Danish Metal Awards!
2010 then marked the year, where HateSphere for the first time played North America, following first The Black Dahlia Murder and then Nevermore through the continent!

Dead
Hatesphere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawl over here
Down on your knees
The paralyzing hate struck from behind
Your violent throne withered away
Remember me?
Pay!
Dead
The parts switched over now
Suddenly you're lowest of all mankind
The one I'll plague and rip apart
Your private nightmares
Pain is brought to life
(blood colored eyes don't realize)
My sight turns red
The burning hate
Is warming my body
Brutally beats you
Feeling alive
But my soul is dead
Can't stop myself,
I like it
Your screams,
They stimulate my body
Now pray
False hope is your last chance
Now pray
Pray for your life
No god won't help you out
Blood colored eyes
Now realize
Soon dead
But I live again
Soon gone
Forever dead
Die when I tell you to die
Dead
The song "Dead" by Hatesphere is a violent and intense track that displays a scenario where the singer, filled with paralyzing hate, takes control over another person's life with sadistic delight. The song starts with an invitation to the victim to come and crawl on their knees to their aggressor. The hatred struck from behind continues till the violent throne of the victim withers away, as the singer, now in control, shouts "Pay!" This is the beginning of the revenge that the singer wants to extract from the victim.
The second verse in the song sees a shift in power dynamic as the singer takes control over the victim's private nightmares, making it their reality. This is the time when the victim's pain is brought to life, whereas his blood-colored eyes don't seem to realize his inevitable death. As the song progresses, the singer feels an intense burning hate, which seems to be warming his body. He is feeling alive as he brutally beats the victim but feels that his soul is dead. The lyrics are indicative of how the singer's life had become meaningless without his need for revenge.
The third verse highlights the singer's enjoyment in his actions, as he screams, the screams of the victim stimulate his body. The singer gives the victim false hope of praying for his life, but he soon realizes that God couldn't save him from the fate he had met. The victim has paid with his life, but the singer feels alive again. The song concludes with the ominous warning of the singer's return, a warning that the victim does not need to hear since he is forever dead.
Line by Line Meaning
Now listen
Pay attention to what I'm about to say
Crawl over here
Move towards me on your hands and knees
Down on your knees
Get into a submissive position
The paralyzing hate struck from behind
My intense anger towards you hit unexpectedly
Your violent throne withered away
Your position of power is now gone
Remember me?
Do you recall who I am?
Pay!
You will suffer the consequences of your actions
Die when I tell you to die
I have complete control over your fate
Dead
You are no longer alive
The parts switched over now
Our roles have now reversed
Suddenly you're lowest of all mankind
You are the most despised human on the planet
The one I'll plague and rip apart
I will torment and destroy you
Your private nightmares
Your worst fears come to life
Pain is brought to life
Your suffering is real and tangible
(blood colored eyes don't realize)
You don't understand the extent of your own pain, you are in shock
My sight turns red
My anger intensifies to the point of rage
The burning hate
My intense dislike for you is all-consuming
Is warming my body
My hatred is so powerful that it feels physically hot
Brutally beats you
I inflict pain on you with hostility and cruelty
Feeling alive
I experience a surge of energy and excitement from hurting you
But my soul is dead
Despite my feelings of power and control, I am emotionally empty
Can't stop myself,
I can't control my desire to cause harm
I like it
I enjoy inflicting pain
Your screams,
Your painful cries
They stimulate my body
They physically arouse me
Now pray
Beg for mercy
False hope is your last chance
Your hope for survival is futile
Pray for your life
Beg to stay alive
No god won't help you out
Even divine intervention won't save you
Blood colored eyes
Your eyes show the extent of your fear and pain
Now realize
You finally comprehend the severity of your situation
Soon dead
You will be dying imminently
But I live again
I feel reinvigorated from causing suffering
Soon gone
Your life will come to an end soon
Forever dead
You will never come back to life
