“Lots of bands say that their newest release will be their heaviest and I guess we are no different,” says singer Jamey Jasta. “We’ve managed to push the envelope and surpass our expectations. We’ve become tighter, harder and more vicious than ever. This is the most excited I’ve been for any Hatebreed release.”
“Very exciting things are happening in the Hatebreed camp,” states drummer Matt Byrne. “It’s time to unleash this beast — new music is here! This is the fastest, most vicious, and most aggressive music we have ever created and I’m pumped for the world to hear it.”
“Make The Demons Obey” is everything you know, love, want, and expect from Hatebreed. PMA lyrics, sick riffs, singalongs that will make you swarm to the front of the stage, and some of the deadliest, beefiest breakdowns known to man. At press time, the band is independent and still deciding what direction it would like to go regarding a record label. But Hatebreed remain open to all options and ideas. In the interim, they will be releasing singles to keep fans satisfied and will self-fund the upcoming album.
Hatebreed guitarist Wayne Lozinak is currently on the mend. He was diagnosed with a meningioma in the brain while on tour in Europe but thankfully, it was benign. He will undergo the necessary surgery and treatment and be back on stages and in fighting shape in no time.
Hatebreed are currently on the road. This summer, the band resurrected the beloved and annual Summer Slaughter US tour for 2025, which runs through July 28th. The Summer Slaughter brand built its reputation as a breeding ground for new talent and to showcase up and coming heavy bands, alongside established headliners. Jasta is breathing new life into this legacy brand and will continue the long-held tradition of giving a live platform to the absolute best up ‘n’ comers in the scene. Support for this year’s run includes Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight on select dates. So the Summer Slaughter mission is clear: The best of the best.
