HATEBREED GET THEIR PERIOD

hatebreedselftitledAt this point, I don’t know what to expect from Hatebreed’s upcoming, self-titled album. The first song the band released, “In the Ashes They Shall Reap,” really did nothing for me – but I actually quite liked the second song the band put out, “Merciless Tide.” So much so that I’ve been listening to it off and on for the past week.

Now the band has posted yet another track on their MySpace page, entitled “Everyone Bleeds Now.” And in terms of the quality scale, I’d place it somewhere in-between “Ashes” and “Tide.” I mean, it’s pretty heavy, but it’s also just another variation on the same song the band has been putting out over and over and over again since Perseverance. Whereas “Tide” suggested there might be some fight left in the old boys yet, this song just makes me feel…  meh.

Still, the album has fifteen songs on it, so there’s still twelve more tracks to win me over. I guess I’ll find out when Hatebreed drops September 29 on E1.

    You guys gotta realize it is what it is, its like AC/DC on HGH. If you want something different everytime listen to Dreamtheater, or DEATH.

      I’m pretty sure in their prime the boys from AC/DC could kick Hatebreed’s collective ass

        Totally missing the point. Im sure you are correct good sir, however they are alike in that AC/DC release the same good shit over and over again. Hence they are like Hatebreed, only not as heavy (or pissed off)

    Are you nuts? This is CLASSIC ‘Breed. “You Fuckin’ Bleed now.” The first 3 seconds are reason enough to say this is sick. In addition, I’m pretty sure he yells “Get Bent,” during the breakdown.

      Dude im not sayin it sucks- i love it. MS on the other hand wants ballads and Page like production from their Hatebreed.

      I dunno

  • DemonicLemming

    Meh. Everything they’ve done has always been meh. All the songs sound the same, all the lyrics are the same. If I want empowerment, I’ll watch fucking Oprah.

    Saw them at Ozzfest, and I couldn’t even tell when one song stopped and another started.

    In my opinion, nothing will top The Rise Of Brutality.

    A lot of people shit on it, but I think it’s the heaviest (and most metal) of all their records.

    As far as the lyrics go, I prefer it when Gamey Shasta sings about smashin’ fools… Probably why “Doomsayer” will forever be my favorite Hatebreed song… And the breakdown makes me want to punch my mother.

    • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

      Really? i thought their cover of Ghosts of War was the shit. I thought the rest were shite (A vocoder on Escape for christ sakes??!)
