Artist History Sumhate is the culmination of two bands from the Chicago area that got their start in the late 80’s.In 1993 the two bands combined to form what is currently Sumhate. Since then there were various name changes, until finally agreeing on Sumhate, a name that reflects the power and aggression of the music. The band has played countless shows in the Tristate area, including opening for national acts such as Riot, Savatage, Gwar, Prong, and David T. Chastain. They have also been featured in magazines such as Hit Parader, Metal Edge, RIP, and Kerrang. Their brush with celebrity is some members playing in a garage band with Billy Corgan.(As seen on VH1’s “Before they were rock stars”. Sumhate has recorded six demo’s since it’s inception consisting of all original material. They draw their influences from bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Metallica, while being compared to current bands like Godsmack and Drowning Pool.

The songs cover a wide range of topics from current events, the decay of society, and the deepest, darkest secrets kept by mankind.
