Guitarist/vocalist Tony Freed of reactivated Swedish death metallers GODHATE (formerly THRONEAEON) has issued the following update:

"After some heavy touring throughout the world, we are back in the studio doing the final mixing of the [new GODHATE] album. It has taken longer than I could ever imagine (10 months all in all), but I guess it had to be done. And finally I can say that I'm proud of what we have achieved. It sounds very harsh and raw but still with a very good production and a production which is far better than we have ever had. It contains some of the best songs we have ever written and this is, by far, the best CD we have ever recorded. This is the masterpiece!

"The new CD is entitled 'Equal In The Eyes Of Death' and will be released during the beginning of fall 2009!

"I'm also glad to say that we finally made it to the U.S.!! The tour we did between May 7 and May 22 is a milestone for GODHATE. This was a great success for us and we expect to be back in the states in October!!

"But this wasn't the only good thing that happened to GODHATE...

"In February, we started with a Sweden tour with VOLTURYON and OVEROTH, did the Hardline therapy festival in Czech Republic and we finished our 'Spring Tour 2009' with another four days in Ireland, again with OVEROTH.

"We like to thank you all, bands, crowd, promoters involved in our success so fucking much!!"

GODHATE recently uploaded music from its forthcoming album to the band's MySpace page. The song "Godhate" and a sample featuring parts of different songs (all from the upcoming CD) are available for streaming at this location.

The new GODHATE album was engineered by Dino Medanhodzic (CARNAL FORGE guitarist) at Elastic studio.

The band is currently seeking a suitable label to release the effort.
