Ablaze In Hatred was born in the year 2004 (Helsinki, Finland). Two friends Juhani Sanna (Kolonna) and Mika Ikonen (Searing Meadow) had a desire to create music, which was dark, slow and same time very heavy and atmospheric. In the autumn 2004 Ablaze In Hatred began to write music for the first promo-release. Early 2005 the song material was ready to be recorded in a studio. In the spring 2005 drummer Antti Hakkala (Searing Meadow) and bassist Miska Lehtivuori (Fall Of The Leafe) joined the band. In august 2005 Ablaze In Hatred went to the studio to record their first promo-cd called 'Closure of Life'. The songs were recorded at the Noisecamp studios with producer Kari Nieminen. The result of that session was three songs over 20 minutes of slow and gloomy death/doom with growling vocals. September 2005 'Closure of Life (promo 2005)' was released. The release gained soon a very positive response in the scene. In October 2005 the band started to write material for the forthcoming full-length album. (Source: Official Site)
