Fatal Paradox - Black LP

Black LP in gatefold cover.

Grammy-nominated and still bloodied and unbowed, Hatebreed has never been more important or influential. With millions of records sold and Spotify numbers to rival time-honoured 'hits', the Bridgeport-born hardcore band has spent the last three decades not just navigating, but shaping the sound of heavy music. This is in a world where the hardcore scene they helped spawn has never been bigger. Hatebreed is on fire. Produced by their long-time collaborator Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Queensrÿche), Hatebreed's ninth album and BLKIIBLK Records debut, Fatal Paradox, sees vocalist Jamey Jasta and his bandmates re-emerge after a six-year hiatus with a collection of uncompromising Hatebreed anthems. Kicking off with 'Kill Count Increase', a song as vitriolic and unforgiving as crowd-pleasers like 'Looking Down the Barrel of Today', and smashing into the likes of 'Decisions Become Destinies' and 'Total Invincible', 'Fatal Paradox' is the sound of HATEBREED doing what they do best. Even now, nearly 35 years into their career, they are as fervent as ever, scorching festival stages including France’s Hellfest, Germany’s Wacken, and numerous Danny Wimmer Presents festivals in the US. Hatebreed isn't merely an icon of hardcore and extreme music; they remain a force unto themselves.
