Ablaze In Hatred is a Finnish melodic doom/death metal band formed in 2004 by two friends, Juhani Sanna and Mika Ikonen, who had a desire to create music which was dark, slow but also very heavy and atmospheric.

In the autumn 2004 Ablaze In Hatred began to write music for the first promo-release. Early 2005 the song material was ready to be recorded in a studio.

In the spring 2005 drummer Antti Hakkala (Searing Meadow)and bassist Miska Lehtivuori (Fall Of The Leafe) joined the band.

In august 2005 Ablaze In Hatred went to the studio to record their first promo-cd called 'Closure of Life'.

September 2005 'Closure of Life (promo 2005)' was released.
