Abyssic Hate

Abyssic Hate was an Australian depressive black metal project that started around 1993 consisting of musician Shane Rout.

The first demo was released in 1994 and its title was "Cleansing of an Ancient Race". It was a limited cassette which gave the solo project success in the underground and led to a deal with Darker Than Black and No Colours, both in Germany. A second demo, "Depression" was never released due to unsatisfied results. A third demo, "Life is a Pain in the Neck", was a limited cassette release. Only 10 copies are available.

In 1997, Abyssic Hate did a split with Det Hedenske Folk (Featuring Abbath from Immortal), and in 1998 he recorded and released the EP, "Eternal Damnation" through Darker Than Black. It contained 20 minutes of basic pure, harsh, evil noise and was limited to 500 copies. It also had the song "The Victory is Ours", originally performed by the German band Absurd.

After many years of releasing demos, Abyssic Hate finally released a debut full-length album entitled "Suicidal Emotions" in 2000.

On December 29th, 2020, Shane Rout announced the end of Abyssic Hate on its official Facebook page. He passed away on March 8th, 2026.
