Hatebreed have remained a fixture of the hardcore and metal scenes for the better part of three decades. After writing the playbook with their genre-defining releases Under The Knife (1996) and Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire (1997), HATEBREED continued to carry the banner for metallic hardcore with albums like Perseverance (2002), The Rise of Brutality (2003), and Supremacy (2006) dominating charts globally. In recent years, the band's undisputed offensive continues with modern records The Concrete Confessional(2016) and Weight of the False Self (2020), remaining fixtures on charts globally. The band's core values of self actualization, perseverance, and honest living have carried them from backyard and basement shows to festival dominators, selling out shows consistently across the world, effectively practicing what they've preached.
Enlisting long-time collaborator Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Accept, Shadows Fall), "Kill Count Increase" is crossover excellence with accelerating speeds, crushing riffage, and frontman Jamey Jasta's venomous bark inciting crimson flashes of carnage.
Holding no punches, and taking no prisoners Fatal Paradox see the Connecticut-born juggernaut operating at full tilt, bludgeoning listeners with a barbarous blend of breakdowns, d-beats, and dogpiles. Whether it’s the thrash stylings of "Kill Count Increase" or "Total Invincible," capital H hardcore excellence of "The Carrion Choir" and "Truth Is A Lion," rage remains the unifying spark to blow the keg in glorious flashes of violence.
