Since hitting the Bay Area Metal scene in early 2007, Hatchet quickly made a name for themselves. Growing up in the San Francisco area suburbs as young metal heads can make it quite likely to take influence from the pioneers of metal that spanned the area in the 1980 s. So it's no surprise that Hatchet describes their sound as Pure, Uncompromising, Bay Area Thrash Metal. The group has stated it's hunger to hit the road and prove that thrash metal is still a force to be reckoned with.
