God’s Hate Returns With Brutal EP
When you think of guttural riff-stomp mosh music from California’s San Fernando Valley, you might not immediately picture a wrestling superstar. You might picture God’s Hate, a hardcore band known for their raw, heavy sound. But what truly defines this group is the wild, unexpected collision of extreme music and professional wrestling stardom that powers their sound.
At the heart of the band is Brody King, the singer, a man whose notoriety extends far beyond the music scene. While God’s Hate was forging their path in the hardcore scene, King was already carving out a formidable presence in the world of professional wrestling. This dual existence—the visceral energy of hardcore music and the choreographed spectacle of wrestling—is the very essence of the band’s unique identity.
Long before the wrestling spotlights became his main focus, King was already celebrated within hardcore circles as one of the most fearsome and reckless moshers out there. This raw, explosive energy naturally bled into the music of God’s Hate, giving their sound an undeniable, kinetic intensity.
The band’s journey began with a vision shared by King and his friend Colin Young, who has since contributed to a multitude of other musical projects. They decided to bottle that explosive energy into a band, creating God’s Hate and continuing to push boundaries with their heavy music.
Their debut effort, the EP Divine Injustice, released in 2014, showcased this raw blend of talent and intensity. Even as Brody King’s professional wrestling career took off, the band remained committed to delivering guttural, heavy tracks that reflected their uncompromising approach to sound.
Today, God’s Hate continues to thrive, maintaining their signature sound while Brody King remains a favorite in the wrestling world, notably gaining recognition in All Elite Wrestling. It’s a testament to the power of authentic expression, proving that the energy found in hardcore music can seamlessly merge with the spectacle of professional sports.
