Hate Dept.
All Music Guide
Formed in the early 90s by bandleader Seibold, Hate Dept. is equal parts repetitive industrial dance rock and hostile punk rock. A multi-instrumentalist, Seibold plays keyboards, guitar, percussion, and supplies Hate Dept.s distorted vocals. The bands first release, meat.your.maker, was released on the Caroline subsidiary 21st Circuitry in 1994, while its follow-up, Omnipresent, surfaced two years later. Both were strong enough to appear on Rolling Stones Top 10 Alternative Album Chart (Omnipresents single, New Power, reached the top of the Alternative Press Dance Chart), while Keyboard magazine named Seilbold as Best New Talent of 1995. In the process, Seibold became a much sought after producer (Berlin, Information Society) and remixer (Smash Mouths hit Walking On the Sun, as well as tracks for Abra Moore, Pink Noise Test, and Articficial Noise Club). Along with guitarist Mark Greco, drummer Charles Hunt, and keyboardist Jeff Smith, Seibold and friends released their 3rd fulll-length release, Technical Difficulties, in 1999.
