Surely many of you already know HATEBREED is coming out with a brand new record via Nuclear Blast on May 13th 2016. Read on this press-release packed of Hatebreedian things...

On HATEBREED's upcoming album, "The Concrete Confessional", the lyrics grapple with a number of the injustices and frustrations that people are experiencing in today's society. Songs such as 'A.D.,' 'Us Against Us,' and 'Looking Down the Barrel of Today' speak to these issues.

"Sometimes it's not so easy to have a positive mental attitude," said HATEBREED's lyricist Jamey Jasta, "but at the end of the tunnel, there is light." Hear more of what Jasta has to say about the new album on this brand new video clip: https://youtu.be/QBgZoMTbwPA

Revered for its aggressive and intense music coupled with self-empowering and positive lyrics,HATEBREED recently released 'Looking Down The Barrel of Today,' the first music video from their upcoming album.

Directed by David Brodsky (CANNIBAL CORPSE, WHITECHAPEL, ALL THAT REMAINS) the performance piece was shot earlier this month at the band's rehearsal space in Connecticut. The video opens with the preface "Welcome to Two Minutes and Forty-Seven Seconds with HATEBREED," and includes special text throughout that was written by vocalist Jamey Jasta as a message of keeping a positive mental attitude.

The long awaited follow-up to »The Divinity Of Purpose« was produced by longtime collaborator Zeuss (ROB ZOMBIE, SUICIDE SILENCE, WHITECHAPEL) and mixed by Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, MEGADETH). Artwork was created by Marcelo Vasco (SLAYER).

The new music is crushing and heavy with provocative lyrics that touch upon a number of topics that have become front-and-center in today's New Normal: the rise of terrorism, police brutality, moral decay, greed and betrayal, increased divisiveness, and the fading promise of the American Dream, potently covered on the track 'A.D.'.
