Hardcore band Hatebreed reveals sixth studio album Fatal Paradox
Developed over time first seen 4 months ago
Hardcore stalwarts Hatebreed have announced their first full-length album in six years, titled 'Fatal Paradox', due for release on 6 November via their new label BLKIIBLK. It follows 2020's 'Weight Of The False Self' and reaffirms the band's standing at the top of the hardcore scene after decades of activity.
The ten-track record features a guest appearance from John Tardy on the song 'Sacrifice Season', and the band released the lead single 'Kill Count Increase' alongside the announcement. Frontman Jamey Jasta described the opening track as fast, direct and quintessentially Hatebreed, calling it a fitting way to open the album after such a long wait between releases.

Explained simply
Hatebreed are a long-running American hardcore band, formed in Connecticut in the 1990s and fronted by Jamey Jasta, known for aggressive, riff-heavy songs that have made them one of the genre's most established acts. The band have built their reputation over several decades and multiple albums, with their last full-length release, 'Weight Of The False Self', coming out in 2020.
The announcement concerns their upcoming sixth studio album, which marks a significant gap since their previous record and a move to a new record label. Guest musician John Tardy, a well-known figure from the death metal band Obituary, also features on one of the tracks, linking Hatebreed to another respected corner of the wider metal and hardcore scene.
New music from a band with Hatebreed's longevity and standing tends to be closely watched within hardcore and metal communities, both for what it signals about the genre's health and for how it fits into the band's own history after a lengthy break between albums.
