Dark Hatred I [2007]
The first ever Dark Hatred album including collaborations with Surak777,
robotpantyraid, and Luke Stephenson from MyVirtualBand.com. Raw as hell and very experimental.
Produced and Mixed by Simon Pettiford.
The album was reworked in 2009, dropping the tracks Lost Within The Underground World and Mayhem At The Ministry and replacing them with new track Closet Mayhem Merchant, previously unreleased track Not Receiving and Graveside Rituals. This album is very much a "Demo LP".
Ever Closer To Destruction [2007]
A compilation of miscellaneous demo tracks recorded during various sessions. "These tracks are what I consider to be the best of the recording sessions - a good documentation of me experimenting with my sound." The collection includes a collaboration with iCompositions user DOS.
Produced and Mixed by Simon Pettiford.
Nightmare [2009]
Simon, and girlfriend Jenni, began writing in early 2009 and recorded in the latter half. This is the band's darkest album to date, takng influences from the member's passion for dark reading material and interest in the Paranormal. The album, and its title track are dedicated to Paranormal Investigation Group "World Of Paranormal", whose investigations are the core influence of many of the tracks.
Produced by Simon Pettiford, Co-Produced by Jenni Grove, with Trevor Banister and Martin Banister. Mixed by Simon Pettiford.
The Departure [2010]
An uncompleted collaboration project, which sees Dark Hatred collaborating with Verbalist for some nu-metal/metalcore action. "We have a few songs here and they're really cool - hopefully we will do a few more."
Produced by Simon Pettiford and Verbalist. Mixed by Simon Pettiford.
Wilderness (EP) [2010]
The main DH release of the year. Like Nightmare, Wilderness dabbles with the paranormal, and blends ambient soundscapes with some bone-crunching guitar riffs. The EP art was designed by DH's own Trevor Banister.
Produced by Dark Hatred. Mixed and Mastered by Simon Pettiford.
The Demons Inside [2011]
Another exploratory album dealing with all things dark. Featuring collaborations with Uplink, this album shows an improvement in production quality and the songs are some of the darkest to emerge from this whole project.
No Fear - Dark Hatred's release for 2012, is currently in the making. Featuring a re-recorded version of Nightmare, massively improved production and collaborations right across the board. Vocals of some description on every song! Check it out!

| Pictures from the Dark Hatred studio | December 24, 2009 |
Thought we'd share some pics of the home studio where Dark Hatred happens 
The setup is modest but the sound we get from it is amazing!
