While it won't be in Florida, the Scion Rock Fest will headline Brutal Death Metal legends Cannibal Corpse, as well as the seminal Hate Eternal on Saturday March 13 in Columbus, Ohio. For those of you who hate the fees to shows, you can rest easy knowing the entire show is free.

Hate Eternal

Hate Eternal formed in 1997 by Erik Rutan as a side project from his other commitment, Morbid Angel. The original lineup included Jared Anderson, Tim Yueng, and Doug Cerrito.

The band has had it’s share of accomplishments and setbacks in it’s history. Lineup changes have plagued the band, as has the death of Jared Anderson in 2006. Nonetheless, the band has persevered to record some of the best albums Death Metal has ever seen.

Fury and Flames

Fury and Flames, is the fouth album by Hate Eternal, seminal Death Metal band lead by the equally awesome Erik Rutan. The album is the first after the death of former bass player Jared Anderson. Erik made it clear this album was an emotional response to Jared's death.

If that's the case, then the emotion felt was utter dispair.

The first song on the album, Hell Envenom, is an absolute aural assault.

Erik Rutan Hospitalized - Hate Eternal Tour Cancelled

In what seems like the darkest of times for Florida Death Metal bands, singer / frontman Erik Rutan has been hospitalized in Iowa City with an infection in his hand, as well as problems with his kidneys. Given that Erik has had issues with his kidneys before, the band isn't taking any chances. The U.S. tour has been cancelled while Erik get's better. 

Details are still limited to what's on the bands MySpace page, but it appears that Erik was admitted to the hospital last week. He's scheduled to stay in the hospital for another week.
