Retrieved September 23, 2018. HATEBREED's agenda, since day one, has seemingly been to clobber listeners senselessly with their music. Bands with this mindset can understandably have an abundance of energy when they come together in garages as 18-year-olds, but the challenge for long-running bands of this ilk is retaining their ongoing relevance and potency. Sure, the band has broadened its horizons since its inception, but it's HATEBREED. Not known for its dynamics, the band has developed a formula and maintained course all the way through studio release number seven: "The Concrete Confessional". The group's tenacity is admirable; yet it remains as inconsistent as it has been for the better part of the last 10 years. Austriancharts.at – Hatebreed – The Concrete Confessional" (in German).

There was a point where we got word that we weren’t going to be a part of something, and there was an opportunity for the band that didn’t materialise based on the sound and the name of the band. Even though we’ve had glimpses of mainstream attention and exposure being in films and on the Ozzfest bill and shows with Metallica and Slipknot, a lot of times people hear Hatebreed and they assume that it’s just noise. But outside of the bands that I loved growing up, everything else was noise to me and I think a lot of heavy music fans can relate to that. We get looked at like we’re crazy because we listen to this shit. People say to me, ‘You’re 39 years old and you’re still doing that?’ But I look at the stuff they’re reading in the paper and the music they’re listening to, and I look at that as noise. One of the lines in this song is ‘ All I hear is dissonance,’ and to me that’s the rest of the shit that’s out there: that’s all noise to me.” All Fall 2017 Hatebreed tour dates are below.

It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since the release ofThe Rise of Brutalityalbum," says singer Jamey Jasta . "These songs are always fun to play and we're looking forward to adding some of them to the set that we've previously either never or rarely played live. Plus, it's always a bonus having Terror on the tour along with Vein.fm and Jesus Piece. This will make this tour an event not to be missed!" In the 20 years since their definitive debut, Hatebreed have rightfully earned their status as hardcore legends. They've remained road warriors, touring constantly and reducing venues to pile of rubble and ash while sharing stages with everyone from Slipknot to Slayer and serving as one of the top-tier headliners on multiple festivals, from Ozzfest to Mayhem to Warped Tour. On September 13, 2006, former guitarist Lou Richards committed suicide at the age of 35; he had played on 1997's Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire and left the band in 2002. Lawson, Dom (May 12, 2016). "Hatebreed: The Concrete Confessional review – vital, ferocious heavy music". The Guardian . Retrieved September 23, 2018.Hatebreed are one of the exceptions in heavy metal where clichéd lyrical content is actually acceptable. Certain ideologies that revolve around self-empowerment, such as ‘Standing for something’, ‘together we’re stronger’ and ‘screw those in higher power’ are often used over-excessively by metal bands to a point where these messages sound like the inane wining of an infant’s tantrum rather than an affronting attitude directed at corrupted authorities. (Looking at you, Five Finger Death Punch) Jamey Jasta’s performance on “The Concrete Confessional” steals the spotlight and reveals him as one of the most forthright lyricists in modern metal. On opener ‘A.D’ he flexes between condemning higher authorities’ greed for degrading the American Dream in a way that is as blunt as a hammer. Whereas in ‘Walking the Knife’ his lyrics are more of a metaphorical sense depicting the inevitability of chaos as “lighting the candle at both ends”. After landing the biggest song of their 25-year career, selling out shows worldwide, and finishing the victory lap of an intense three-year cycle, Nuclear Blast artist Hatebreed return with their first new single in four years with " When The Blade Drops." Stylistically "The Concrete Confessional" features few surprises if you´re already familiar with the last couple of albums by Hatebreed. It´s aggressive and groove laden hardcore featuring quite a few thrash metal styled riffs (Slayer often comes to mind, when isolating the riffs). Lead vocalist Jamey Jasta has a powerful and raw delivery, which is slightly one-dimensional (save for a short clean vocal part on "Something's Off"), but very effectful. In true hardcore style the lyrics are dealing with subjects like corruption, political issues, social injustice, and how to overcome personal problems.
