Hatebreed is outwardly getting means thrashier with their new materials. Based on Hatebreed drummer Matt Byrne throughout an interview backstage at this yr’s Louder Than Life competition with The Kevin Powell Podcast, the brand new Hatebreed stuff is extra in step with Slayer than the rest.
“I feel this new materials is means thrashier. There’s at all times a tinge of steel to Hatebreed,” stated Byrne. “I feel lots of people attempt to sort of pigeonhole us as a hardcore band, however I feel over time we have simply gone far more steel. There’s nonetheless the hardcore punk vibe to us, however I feel the brand new stuff is far more steel, thrashy, quick, Slayer-esque, if I’ll use that time period.
“That is sort of the course we’re entering into proper now, however there’s nonetheless a number of groove to it. It is undoubtedly the heaviest stuff that we have written thus far. I do know that may be a cliché factor with bands — ‘Be careful, everyone. It is the best stuff,’ or no matter they are saying — nevertheless it’s true. It is true. It truly is. So I am excited for everybody to listen to the opposite stuff too.”
The brand new materials follows the July launch of “Make The Demons Obey”, a comeback single that is already turn into a dwell staple: “It is quick, it is heavy, it is Hatebreed throughout,” Byrne stated of the track. “It is a number of enjoyable to play. We have been taking part in ‘I Will Be Heard’ since 2002 — as a lot as we love that track, it is good to tear into one thing new.”
Byrne additionally addressed Hatebreed‘s lineup modifications briefly, which I am guessing has all the things to do with their ongoing lawsuit against former bassist Chris Beattie: “New document, new music. It is a new period of the band. We have had some lineup modifications. We handled some curve balls this summer season, some well being stuff. So we’re popping out on prime, we’re grinding via, we’re popping out on prime. And, yeah — new manufacturing. We’re simply stepping up the present 100% and simply forging onward.”
