In a recent interview, HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta teased fans about their upcoming studio album, stating, "This is our most ignorant, heavy, caveman-esque record yet. We really just went back to basics, played on all our strengths." He emphasized that their new material is unapologetically heavy, devoid of any melodic distractions, and outlined their excitement about having full creative control over this project.

Jasta also discussed the band's future plans, hinting at a worldwide tour that aims to reach territories they haven't visited in years, including Australia and Southeast Asia. “We haven’t been back for a full headline tour since 2009, 2010. We’re telling everybody, ‘See us now or forever hold your peace,’” he asserted.

As the band prepares for this monumental tour, fans can look forward to an electrifying experience that promises to be a highlight in the metal calendar. Don’t miss your chance to catch HATEBREED and their incredible lineup this summer!
