Take the fierce energy of a hardcore band, add a touch of metal, and what you unleash is the perfect combination only known as New Haven CT's Hatebreed. Tired with the current state of heavy music, singer Jamey Shanahan wanted to ensemble a release that would hit everyone over the head and begin the awakening. Jamey states " that was the reason we started this band. In Connecticut in ?3 people considered Quicksand and Iceburn hardcore and I?m thinking ?no way this is indie rock.' We wanted simple songs with simple song structures. All out brutality, 30 seconds and it is done."
