THE BEAST

Nuclear Blast artist Hatebreed  will release their eighth studio album Weight of The False Self  on 27th November. The 12-track album is stocked with pit-stirring anthems.

"When writing lyrics and riffs, I try to be in the moment, getting a mental picture of my current reality in order to convey what I want to say," says singer Jamey Jasta about the new material. "Sometimes, I think my reality consists of two irreducible elements, expressed by the age-old interior battle of the dualistic self. The angel on one shoulder stands firm, providing reason, wisdom, and compassion while the devil dances angrily on the other, ranting with passion, spite, and dark desire. I often wonder if a truly centered mind is attainable, an effortless and non-dualistic state of equilibrium. Until then, I'll just listen to both sides of my personality and hope I make the right choice. At the end of the day, the listener will choose to hear what they want, but when I am writing, I imagine the voice of the angel to be a lil 'louder. "

"Weight Of The False Self" was produced by long-time  Hatebreed  collaborator   Zeuss  and appears after a sold-out anniversary show that  Hatebreed   played in 2019 and the unprecedented success of its predecessor "The Concrete Confessional", which was published in 2016. The latter generated over 42 million Spotify streams, the single "Looking Down The Barrel Of Today" has over 30 million Spotify streams. As a cover hero, the band graced the front of Revolver, The Guardian awarded 4 out of 5 stars for the album. All of this proves that this Connecticut hardcore metal institution is as alive as ever, even after a career spanning over 20 years.

Known for their ability to provide their fans with an intense and cathartic outlet,  Hatebreed   challenge themselves and their writing style to create material that is exceptionally good to relate to, especially nowadays - in an overstimulated, emotionally weakened world where there is a lack of social patience. “  'Weight Of The False Self' represents   Hatebreed   in 2020 perfectly. It's a fresh rush of upcoming classics with all the elements that got you here from the start,  ”explains guitarist Frank Novinec.

Drummer  Matt Byrne   adds: " There is no shortage of muscular riffs and adrenaline fueled drumming on this album. I am proud that we can continue to deliver a soundtrack that you can mosh to in the living room and smash your apartment to.  “
