HAT was formed by Nevresch & Undertrykker in 1993 under the name RAVNER. They were inactive from1996-2006, when they re-united under their new hateful moniker – playing Misanthropic Black Metal. After releasing the demo Livet Ebber ut in 2008 and their debut full-length The Demise of Mankind in 2009, they have followed a path deeper into darkness. From this darkness comes their second full-length Vortex of Death to be released by Abyss Records. Filled with chaos and destruction the album reflects and holds the energies that make HAT what it is.

  Nevresch and Undertrykker are currently available for email interviews so get in touch at ClawhammerPR@gmail.com with any inquiries. We have digital promo copies available for those who them. We look forward to your feedback. Here’s what others thought.

…this two-man Nordic black metal maelstrom unleashes yet another storm of old school, grim, and scathing fury that continues to show that the Nordic scene is still as wicked and ripe as it was back in the early 90’s. – Defecation On The Divine

Evil, and at its very best, mildly alien in composition, which is always sure to draw the ear deeper than your run of the mill black metal album about forests, snow and Satan. – From The Dust Returned

Well worthy in pretty much all respects, Hat are as frostbitten as the Norwegian scene gets nowadays, and in my opinion, anyone pining for a 40 minute hateful frosty blast could do far worse than to check them out. – MetalCrypt.com

…this is an excellent album authentically recreating the brooding atmosphere of the Norge black metal underground… – Battlehelm.com
