PRODUCT OF HATE was formed in Kenosha County, Wisconsin in 2007. Nearly a decade in, and the band holds the unique distinction of having the same lineup since the start - Vocalist Adam Gilley, Drummer Mike McGuire, Bassist Mark Campbell, and the lefty/righty guitar duo of brothers Geno (Lead) and Cody (Rhythm) Rathbone.
The band developed it's crushing style of American metal while honing its skill, eventually landing support slots in front of bands such as Lamb Of God, Meshuggah, Chimaira, Gwar, Hatebreed, Job For A Cowboy and more.
The First EP...
In 2010, PRODUCT OF HATE independently released THE UNHOLY MANIPULATOR EP, a release hailed by underground audiences as a taste of bigger things to come. Recorded by Chris Wisco at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin, the band called upon James Murphy, the legendary guitarist of Death, Testament and Obituary to handle the mixing and mastering duties.
2012-2013... Independent Videos and Singles...
The following years found the band gaining traction, self-producing a pair of music videos with Special FX legend Robert Kurtzman (Director of Wishmaster, Creator of From Dusk Till Dawn), filmed in Ohio at Precinct 13 Entertainment with production services provided by Robert Kurtzman's Creature Corps. Directed by James Zahn (The Rock Father), the crew would include several future cast members of SyFy's Face Off (David H. Greathouse, Beki Ingram, Eric Zapata), and the short film version of "Unholy Manipulator" would star Hellraiser's Ashley Laurence in the title role - a video that premiered online via leading horror site Bloody-Disgusting after a big-screen theatrical debut at the Terror in the Aisles film festival in Chicago. "Unholy" would become a Halloween-season favorite, featured at film festivals and special events.
A pair of self-release singles, "A Well-Deserved Death" and an very early arrangement of "Revolution of Destruction," would see the band getting placement on sites like AOL Noisecreep, MetalSucks, and Blabbermouth (among others), all while PRODUCT OF HATE remained an independent, unsigned, band.
2014 - In order to take the band to the next level, a decision was made to self-produce a fantastic album... and then find a suitable label partner...
In January of 2014, PRODUCT OF HATE entered Mercenary Digital Studios in Zion, Illinois with Engineer Scott Creekmore for the first of two sessions that would eventually become the band's full-length debut album. Initially, a 13-track version of the record (Mixed by Creekmore) was shopped to labels, and in October of 2014, PRODUCT OF HATE would sign with Austrian Metal Titan, NAPALM RECORDS. Officially announced to the public in December of 2014, PRODUCT OF HATE was welcomed into the Napalm family as preparations began for the release of their debut album, BURIED IN VIOLENCE.
2015 - Mixing, Touring, Plotting...
With a wealth of material available, including older PRODUCT OF HATE music that would be "new" to the world at large, a decision was made to create a tracklisting for BURIED IN VIOLENCE that would pair nine songs recorded specifically for the album with two remixed tracks from the UNHOLY MANIPULATOR EP (Japanese editions would receive a third, added as a Bonus Track). The additional songs from the Creekmore sessions were not discarded, but set aside for the band's sophomore album, including a few that will surprise listeners when the time comes for album number two. After a North American Tour with Allegaeon (Metal Blade) and The Agonist (Century Media), PRODUCT OF HATE once again called upon James Murphy to handle final mixing and mastering at his SafeHouse Production in Florida. Artwork was commissioned by Colin Marks of Rain Song Design in the UK, and a new single, "...As Your Kingdom Falls," would see release alongside a lyric video. By year's end, "Unholy Manipulator" and "Blood Coated Concrete" had been issued as singles, complete with official Napalm editions of the previous music videos.
BURIED IN VIOLENCE was officially announced for a February 5, 2016 release date.
2016 - Album Release, Videos, and Touring...
PRODUCT OF HATE entered 2016 with their furious work ethic fired-up, the Napalm Records "machine" behind them. Renting a 40,000 sq ft. facility in Illinois, the band would spend an icy weekend filming three new music videos, once again helmed by The Rock Father, with Chuck Przybyl of Most Visual serving as Director of Photography. New band photos and portraits were shot by David T. Kindler, and the first official radio single was released - with "Monster" arriving on SiriusXM Liquid Metal, followed by a video release on January 22nd.
February will see the album release, followed by another new music video, a tour announcement, and yet another video.
