Hate is the third studio album by Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago, released in March 1994 through Cogumelo Records. It has a more stripped-down approach than their previous record, The Laws of Scourge (1991). Hate is also notable for its controversial use of a drum machine. At the time Sarcófago were attempting to become the fastest band in the world, and there were no drummers in their native Brazil who could play at the required speeds. Frontman Wagner Lamounier claimed to have no qualms about using this device, on the basis that most death metal drummers use trigger pads for recording purposes, which in the end produces the same homogenized sound as that of a drum machine.
