HATESEX

Formed in 2003 by Benn Ra, formerly of Diva Destruction, Hatesex has quickly made a name for themselves. The band garnered a bit of attention with their first official release on Strobelight Records compilation entitled "New Dark Age, Vol 1". In early 2004 the band released a limited 4 song promotional CD called "The Spiritual Palsy EP". Recorded and co-produced by Bari-Bari (Mephisto Walz/ex-Christian Death), the CD featured 3 original songs plus a "gothicized" version of the Slayer classic "Black Magic". The CD was received with open arms by the European goth press and all four songs on the CD received extensive club play all over Europe.



Shortly after the CDs release, Hatesex signed a recording agreement with the Dark Dimensions label group. The label features such bands as Mephisto Walz, Antiworld, Astrovamps and Benn's previous band Diva Destruction.



The band released their debut CD entitled "Unwant" in September of 2005. The CD garnered positive reviews nearly across the board even landing on a few Top 10 lists for 2005. The band was invited to play their first, and so far only show at the 2006 Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany. Joining Hatesex on stage for this show were Ralf Huenefeld (bass) and Alice D (drums) from the Berlin based death-rock band PLUSH INSANE.



The band is currently in pre-production for their second CD. Details for this release will be posted here when they are available.
