The first release of the tape, a split - EP with the Phone Prank - thrash metal project Longmont Potion Castle, copied in visual terms other band of the metal genre. So the band logo was visually that of Hatebreed ajar, the cover made reference to the album Screaming for Vengeance Judas Priest, and the title of Hatebeak part of the publication presents a parody of the title of the debut album of Carcass , Reek of putrefaction , is According to MTV , in 2006 the band had a sponsorship deal with a manufacturer of organic bird food. In 2009 the band broke up, according to Arte because of musical differences.

style

Scott Bixby described Hatebeak for the online magazine The Daily Beast as the "best black metal band you've never heard of" and the band's music as "heavy, distorted guitars (with) somewhat frenetic song structures" and held states that "Waldo's hissing vocals would turn even an average garage band into Cannibal Corpse ". Carla Thornton compared the band in the San Francisco Chronicle in formal terms with Steely Dan , since Hatebeak were also a pure studio project, but "with incomprehensible lyrics, no melodies and three times as loud". She described Waldo's singing as "ear-bleeding screeching and diabolical-sounding growling". Punknews described the trio's music as a “vicious, technical, merciless” mixture of Grindcore and Death Metal, which combines the “cruel beating of Napalm Death ” with the filigree music of Nile .

The band itself compares their music with a "jackhammer that is shredded in a trash compactor" and says about their motives and ambitions, "wanting to set the bar for extreme music as high as possible". At the same time, however, the band is also interested in “bringing a little happiness into a scene that cannot laugh at itself or that regularly takes itself far too seriously”.
