Biography
At the height of death metal’s inaugural reign, there was not much that could top the selling power and fan loyalty of Malevolent Creation and Cannibal Corpse. Both were, and are todaystill, considered top runners of the extreme music game. In 1994, Malevolent guitarist/mastermind Phil Fasciana, Cannibal’s Rob Barrett and longtime underground scene stalwart “Crazy” Larry Hawke put together what many still consider one of the genre’s best “supergroups”.
While initially intended as a side-project, Hateplow, as they would come to be known, took on a more serious focus in late 1999 after Barrett’s departure from Cannibal Corpse. Soon a new vocalist was recruited in the form of Kyle Symons (ex-Sickness) and former Revenant bassist Tim Scott joined the fold. Yet the hand of fate decided to intervene when on the morning of May 24, 1997, "Crazy" Larry was found dead from smoke inhalation after a fire in his home and not long after completion of his drum tracks.
This would be a damaging blow yet the debut, “Everybody Dies”, was released in 1998 to high acclaim. Three years would pass before HatePlow would bounce back after the loss of “Crazy” Larry and the departure of Tim Scott. In 2000, Dave Culross (Malevolent Creation, ex-Suffocation) was recruited to take over drum duties along with Doug Humlack (ex-Hibernus Mortis) on bass and with this line-up released their second successful release “The Only Law is Survival”.
The band has gone on to do two successful European tours, the first in 2001 with bass replacement Julian “Xaphan” Hollowell (Kult ov Azazel) and again in 2003 kicking it off headlining the [...] The Commerce Festival in Eastern Germany.
