If youâre looking for a ride full of energy, determination and heavy metal, lend your ears to Worcesterâs
tightest metal band, Hated.
In the summer of 2003, guitarist Russ Wyman and drummer Jesse Sargent laid down the foundation for a
group comprised of musicians with experience and the common goal to rock the city. After collaborating
for 6 months, Russ and Jesse seriously sought after the perfect singer and bassist to compliment their solid
metal riffs, raw emotion and ear bleeding style of drumming. One of the missing pieces finally came when
Bill Shultz, longtime friend and singer, joined the band in January of 2004. Then called Trendkill, it wasnât
until early 2005 when a bassist, Chris Gill, joined and clicked with the rest of the band. With the new name
Hated and Chris, a graduate of Northeastern University, they took Chrisâs music industry degree and pure
enthusiasm to round out the pack. With nothing standing in their way, Hated began playing shows all over
the city from private parties, the annual Lucky Dog Music Hall Barbecue and Battle of the Bands at Jillians
to showcase their talents and build their fan base. The past year and a half, the band has played a large
number of shows throughout New England with some show openers for national acts such as, Shootyz
Groove, Metal Church and Powerman 5000. The long awaited EP is set to be released in the winter of
2007. From there, Hated will continue doing what they do best, play music.
With creative introâs and an âanything can happenâ attitude, Hatedâs set is solid, dominating and
entertaining with songs like âHow Doesâ, a testament to hardcore and âH.A.F.â which brings blistering
attacks and in your face vocals. An anthem to the metal scene makes âOwnâ a favorite. It is easy to feel
the energy and passion of the group with their song âFind Yourselfâ and the mellower âRelapseâ. The
newest and most sought after to hear are the melodic sounds of âNooseâ and the EP title, âBehind the
Maskâ. Rounding out their set you can often find the Metallica classic âMaster of Puppetsâ, a tribute to
their influences and youth.
No matter how much Hatedâs music may grow and evolve, Russ, Jesse, Bill and Chris continue to follow
their musical goals to not only continue to gain fans, but always to play hard, heavy and with passion.
