Hatebreed is an American metalcore band from Connecticut, U.S. They have long been associated with the 1990s metallic hardcore scene and were founded in 1994.
Hatebreed started out by producing a three-song demo and selling it to local people in Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut, U.S., and was eventually released in 1995 on a split seven inch with fellow band New York’s Neglect. Consisting of Jamey Jasta on vocals, Lou Richards on guitar, Chris Beattie on bass, Sean Martin on guitar and Rigg Ross on drums, the band self-released the critically acclaimed EP “Under the Knife” in 1996 which has been re-released by all of Hatebreed’s subsequent labels.
The band’s aim was to identify what was important about hardcore music; the thrashing guitars, the screamed vocals, the huge, heavy drums and make that the soul of their sound. The band’s 1997 release “Satisfaction is the Death of Desire” did exactly that, released on then the most reliable hardcore label Victory Records, the album was the highest selling album the label had ever witnessed.
The influence of touring with mainstream metal bands Deftones, Entombed and Slayer was evident on Hatebreed’s following two albums “Perseverance” released in 2002 and 2003’s “The Rise of Brutality”. 2004 saw the band join Slayer, Slipknot and Mastodon on the Unholy Alliance tour of Europe and introduced the band to a wider audience. In 2004 the Hatebreed was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, ultimately losing out to Motörhead.
Prior to the band’s 2006 full-length album “Supremacy” released on Roadrunner Records, Hatebreed performed at Download Festival in Donnington, UK, and Ozzfest with the likes of Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold.
Guitarist Frank Novinec was added to the line-up in 2006 as well as Wayne Lozinak in 2008 and both played on the covers album “For the Lions” which dropped in May 2009 as well as the band’s self-titled album in September 2009. “The Divinity of Purpose” Hatebreed’s sixth studio album was released on January 25, 2013 and was another in long line of successes for the band, who have sold over 1.1 million records worldwide.
