Acts of Hate is the 2009 album by German melodic death metal band Soul Demise. A promotional clip for the album's opener, "The Tempest", was included to Maximum Metal Vol. 138 by German magazine Metal Hammer, while the album itself features a clip for "Evidence of Spoken Words".
It took the band four years to release a follow-up to 2005's applauded album Blind.Acts of Hate is the first album to feature new members Michael Dauscher on bass and Jan Sotiriu on drums.
Dominik Winter of Metal Hammer gave the release high points, calling the band "the Swedish Germans in the metal circus" and especially recognizing Roman Zimmerhackel's vocals. This was backed up by the review in Legacy, laying its attention on the compositions of the "Bavarian Swedes", stating that they ultimately stepped out of the shadow of their idols, At the Gates. Other specialist publications were in the same vein.
