Hate formed in late ’60s Scotland/UK, featuring Rab Munro (vocals), Neil Bruce (organ/piano/vocals), Jim Lacey (guitars), Lenny Graham (bass/vocals), and Allan Pratt (drums). Their only release, Hate Kills (Nov 1970), came out on EMI’s Famous label. With its textured gatefold sleeve, it quickly slipped into obscurity—making original pressings rare collector items
Dive deep into the psychedelic shadows of early ’70s UK prog with Hate, an underrated band whose 1970 debut Hate Kills remains a hidden treasure. Engineered by later Judas Priest/Def Leppard producer Tom Allom, the album fuses Hammond‑driven atmospheres reminiscent of Procol Harum and Atomic Rooster, scorching guitar leads, and Rab Munro‘s emotive, Spooky Tooth‑style vocals creating a dark, sinuous soundscape that slipped through the cracks of music history.
Corridors stands out at 3:03 minutes of haunting mood and intricate musicality. With layered keyboards, melodic guitar solos, and melancholic vocal lines, the track takes listeners on a journey through shadowy emotional corridors shifting from despair to quiet introspection. It perfectly encapsulates Hate’s mastery of dynamic prog‑rock songwriting.
