History edit

The band was formally found under the name I for an I in 2007, however the band decided to change their name due to a Canadian band with the same name. To avoid potential legal issues, they decided on Product of Hate.[2]

On February 5, 2016, Product of Hate released their debut album, Buried in Violence, under Napalm Records. The album was recorded by both Scott Creekmore at Mercenary Digital Studios in Zion, Illinois and Chris Djuricic, sometimes known as Chris Wisco, at Belle City Sound in Racine, Wisconsin and mixed and mastered by James Murphy, former guitarist of Death, Testament, and Obituary.[3] The album debuted at number 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers East North Central Chart.[4]

The band's second album, You Brought This War, was released on February 5, 2021.[5]

Concert tours edit

Prior to signing with Napalm Records, Product of Hate played numerous one-off dates with bands such as Hatebreed, Chimaira and Lamb of God. After signing to Napalm, the band embarked on their first North American Tour (The "GetRekt" Tour) with Allegaeon and The Agonist in 2015.[6][7] Product of Hate's first tour following the release of "Buried in Violence" was a late spring run with Mushroomhead, Sumo Cyco and Madame Mayhem from April–June 2016.[8][9] From September–October 2016, the band teamed with their Napalm Records labelmates, Hammer Fight for a tour of the Eastern United States dubbed the Hammer Out the Hate Tour.[10]

In 2017, Product of Hate toured the U.S. with Skinlab and IKILLYA.[11]
