Hatebreed - Fatal Paradox
Grammy-nominated, drawn by the fighting but unbroken - HATEBREED are now more important and influential than ever. With millions of records sold and Spotify numbers that are in no way inferior to those of long-established "hits", the hardcore band from Bridgeport (Connecticut) has not only helped shape the sound of heavy music over the past three decades, but also significantly shaped the sound of heavy music. And this in a world where the hardcore scene they contributed to has reached an unprecedented size.
Hatebreed burns with energy. Produced by their longtime companion Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Queensrÿche), *Fatal Paradox* - the band's ninth album and their debut at BLKIIBLK Records - marks the return of vocalist Jamey Jasta and his crew after a six-year release break; the result is an album full of uncompromising HATEBREED-hymn mmm
The opener "Kill Count Increase" is as snappy and merciless as audience favorites à la "Looking Down the Barrel of Today"; followed by tracks like "Decisions Become Destinies" and "Total Invincible", presenting *Fatal Paradox* HATEBREED in absolute best. Even after almost 35 years in the hard music business, they are more passionate than ever and make festival stages glow - from French Hellfest to German Wacken to numerous festivals by Danny Wimmer Presents in the USA. In 2026, HATEBREED are not only an icon of hardcore and extreme music, but a power in itself.
