HATCHET was formed in 2006 by teenagers that shared a mutual love for the bands that built their hometown Bay Area metal scene two decades prior. Bands such as TESTAMENT, EXODUS, and the early work of then-Bay Area transplants METALLICA infused the initial blueprint that formed HATCHET's sound. The group however forged their own path thanks to layering in guitar melodies that were inspired by other classic heavy metal acts such as IRON MAIDEN, and adding an additional layer of technicality to stand out from the competitive pack of modern bands seeking inspiration from the greats of heavy metal's yesteryear. The same Sputnik Music review that praised Kirchen's vocal performance also noted that HATCHET “don't really sound like a rip-off of their influences but rather they are just five dudes rocking out and putting everything into their music”.
