One-man black metal project from Australia, active since 1993; musically aligned with depressive/suicidal black metal; noted for Suicidal Emotions (2000) and the compilation A Decade of Hate (2006).

Tepes reviews A Decade of Hate, a remastered compilation spanning Abyssic Hate’s demos and EPs alongside material from Suicidal Emotions. The raw, old-school black metal cuts dominate, evoking Darkthrone and early Mayhem. “Betrayed” is praised as an eleven-minute peak of despair and expression. Overall: an effective, affordable compilation, but weighted toward the raw early material.
