Hate Songs in E Minor is the debut studio record from the British noise rock band Fudge Tunnel. It followed in the wake of two critically acclaimed singles ("Fudge Tunnel" in 1989 and "The Sweet Sound of Excess" in 1990, both on Pigboy/Winyl Solution), after which the group were signed to Earache.
The album features 11 songs, nine of which were written by the band. The other two tracks are covers: "Sunshine of Your Love" was originally recorded by the band Cream, while the last track on the disc, "Cat Scratch Fever" was originally recorded by Ted Nugent. The album is also dedicated to Nugent. The track "Hate Song" was featured on a six disc, 100 plus track box set titled "Metal: A Headbanger's Companion"
