The Hordes Of Hate Manifesto

In the depths of darkness and evil there is a fine line area of hate. Hordes Of Hate are one of those dark black metal bands that are lurking to catch you under their spell. Here is something a little about them you might want to know.

Why is it so hard for Black Metal Bands to get signed here in The United States?
Hordes Of Hate: The way I see it, it’s largely due to the fact that the United States is dominated by bands under the Death Metal and Thrash genres, not to mention all that Posercore garbage. A large number of bands from the United States, with ourselves included, are signed to Record Labels and do thrive from this. Several Black Metal bands from here in Los Angeles, have actually gone on to acheive large success in well known labels such as Metal Blade Records (Lightning Swords of Death) and Candlelight Records (Sothis).

You have now out a six song EP. When did you start writing it? And how long did it take to finally get onto a CD?
Hordes Of Hate: It is actually a Full Length, not an EP. The lyric-writing process began around March, 2009 and some songs date all the way back to 2007. The music was written from August to October, 2009. The recording process took about 3 months to accomplish. Overall, I’m NOT satisfied with it, but I guess the fans are because it completely sold out through our record label.

What is the song Unholy Destruction Of The Abyss about?
Hordes Of Hate: This song has actually been one of our most infamous ones to date, along with the highly racist and now-defunct song “Jew Crusher” that we would play during the old War Metal era. It was basically written as a big “Fuck You!” to the production company known as Abyssic Realm Productions and the band Funereus during a time when our hatred towards each other escalated to inhuman heights. I shall not get into details, but those who know the story between ourselves and Funereus know what the song represents.

What is your song Lurking In Darkened Realms Of Oblivion about?
Hordes Of Hate: It’s self explanitory through the song title. The lyrics, however, deal with being lost amongst your deepest fears and not being able to escape from them. In a way, I think many people can deal with and grasp that concept.

Enthroned In Flesh And Blood is a song about what?
Hordes Of Hate: Ah, this is one I wrote back in 2007, before I even had the idea to start or join any band. It deals with the death of Christ, the entire kingdom of heaven, as well as humanity and the ascension of Satan to his throne made from the remains of all who perished i.e: A throne built from Flesh and blood.

What did you get the title for this CD from? And what does it mean?
Hordes Of Hate: The significance of the title for the full length “Blasphemic Invocations for Demonic Glory” is simple. It is what the album represents. The 6 tracks heard on this release are our Blasphemic Invocations to the Evil deities and their Demonic Glory.

What is the song Drown In The Tainted Blood Of Your Saviour about?
Hordes Of Hate: You seem very interested in our songs and what they represent. It is another “Fuck You” song. This time, to the Christian fools who constatly try to jam their lies down your throat in a futile and pathetic attempt to convert you. You know – the people who do not know the backstory of Christianity to begin with. They try to drown you with their constant preaching and so in return, they drown amongst the blood of their Christ.

What is The Black Metal scene like in area where you come from The San Fernando Valley like?
Hordes Of Hate: Dead – Absolutely DEAD! Black Metal here, just like in Los Angeles, is just a bunch of retarded children who play in nothing but backyard shows. It’s an absolute joke and the only Black Metal bands in the Valley we’ve come across that do possess a vast amount of talent stick to playing at each other’s houses because they don’t want to be known. The one band who does want to be known simply cries and sob and begs Hordes of Hate to talk to people in order to get them shows like if they’re nothing a worthless child – Misanthropic Desolation! What kind of bullshit mentality is that?! My One year old daughter cries less than they do! In all honesty, with the exception of Hordes of Hate, there is no Black Metal in the San Fernando Valley of California.

Hordes of Hate are currently signed to a European record company Victory By Fire Records. Order this bands CD and feel what darkness is. What Hordes Of Hate are about is: “We are nothing. A speck of dirt amongst the parasites festering upon this realm. From this void of nothingness, we consume. Echoing orations of Blasphemous Heresy attach themselves to your thoughts. We will remain nothing, for our lives are as meaningless as your death.” -Hordes of Hate
