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!

Hatesphere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mouth untrue, unravelling with rancid filth
As charming as a snake you'll be put to sleep
With a blast from here and to oblivion
No more self proclaimed and sacred shit
I will tear these lies apart
And in blasphemous disgust
For I am a devil, here to do the Devil's work
The utmost unholy, the baddest motherfucker in Hell
No more self proclaimed and sacred shit
I will tear these lies apart
Anguish and turmoil will rot you inside out
I am a devil, here to do the Devil's work
The utmost unholy, the baddest motherfucker in Hell
Fake and worthless, you have spread your illness wide
But today, I will deprive you of life
Take your fucking life
Take your life
The lyrics in Hatesphere's song In The Trenches is about someone who has had enough of being lied to and deceived. The person speaking in the song is warning the other person that they will not tolerate their lies anymore and will ultimately kill them. The person being addressed is described as having a mouth that is full of rancid filth, suggesting that their lies are no longer tolerable. The singer of the song describes the person they're addressing as a snake which they will put to sleep with a blast from here and to oblivion, implying that they'll use whatever means necessary to eliminate the person lying to them.
The chorus repeats the line "No more self-proclaimed and sacred shit, I will tear these lies apart" which emphasizes the person's frustration with being deceived. They go on to describe how they are a devil, and they are here to do the devil's work, possibly suggesting that they will take revenge for themselves or for someone else who has been hurt by this deception. The singer's anger is palpable as they call the person they're addressing as "fake and worthless" and says that they will take their life.
