I gave Hatebreed a chance but really, how can anyone call this hardcore?

My Score:

Ahahahahah. This review has some of THE FUNNIEST comments since that Madball review. Amazing.

Score is for the review and the comments that followed it.

As for the album itself: Hatebreed does xtuffxguyx hardcore. I don't like that. I think it sucks, and I think the people who listen to it take hardcore WAYYYYY too seriously. Just take a chill pill, breathe in deeply, and have some fucking fun. I guess Hatebreed does what they do well, but I can't get into it.

This band is fucking terrible, i swear to god, i hate them

This might be a pretty generalised statement, but after reading the comments on this site relating to bands that I consider decent (although this album is crap compared to Satisfaction is the death of...) I have come to the conclusion that the majority of people posting comments are a bunch of braindead kids with no sense of what hardcore is about.. Let me tell you a few things, sitting on your fat ass in front of your parents computer talking shit about a scene that many people love and live for doesn't make you hardcore... wearing chucks and cammo shorts and having purple bits in your gay little spiky hairdo doesn't make you hardcore, or even punk... I come from a country where there isn't a particularly big scene and we seldom have international bands play here...... My point is that last month Hatebreed played here and I went along with my mates and had a fuckn wicked time, they mostly played songs off this album but I didn't give a fuck because it was live and the vibe was electric..... so shut the fuck up and get out there, you might even loose some weight if u get a sweat on in the pit you stupid fat idiots.. consider yourselves lucky that you can see these bands live as often as you can (even though you claim to hate everything)... thats all I got to say! PS: go fuck yourselves!

Dear Liz and all you other racists.
thank you, not for your lack of love and understanding in this world of many cultures and ethnicities but for the simple fact that if it weren't for dumbfucks such as your selves, we would have nobody to flip our burgers. please continue driving big trucks around and blowing skinhead hick white trash for crack and keep flipping those burgers. congratulations on finding the perfect sound track to listen to while driving to walmart for huggies cause that fat fuck skin knocked you up. racists are the asshole of humanity so at least be proud you belong to SOME faction of society. weeeeee now get a tat on your ass like the roof of the general lee!! i'm sure your uncle jessie will love to have a target when he is procreating.

I am the true hated. I am who hatebreed lovers and hatebreed themselves hate. Yet i am god to all of you. You see, i am in all of your nightmares, wishes and dreams and hopes! i am invencible but yet many are your futile attemps to destroy me. I control your every thought and desire. So much that you have givin me many nicknames and wrote songs about me. I'm in your minds when you wake up, when you eat and play and finally when you lay down for what could be your final rest should i choose. I am the most powerful being on the face of the earth because i am dark enough to hide in your shadows and destroy you from the inside out. If my flesh were to succomb today, i will still live and thrive in the back of the minds and thoughts of the hatebreed band and it's followers. Yes, i am imortal because you have made me so. Therefore i am your god. Thank you!

p. S. You all that are of the hatebreed mindset remember that you are hatebreed and that you were bred to hate me. "you were bred for my purpose"

hey what's up hatebreed is a awesome band and they are kick ass in concert. But one thing i will say is even if hatebreed are racist more power to them cause iam too and i think everyone is intitled to think and feel how they want so fuck other people who talk shit about it cause us white's who hate have reasons why and we shouldn't have to tell the whole world our secrets and if people want to be jumping your ass about it well fuck off and go on with your life everyone has a freedom of speech and leave some alone who hate cause thats the way we feel and this message is to anyone who is against how i feel cause i don't give a fuck iam racist and will continue to be and if hatebreed is wich i kinda think they are cause they wrote a song and it's called kill niggers and i know this for a fact cause i burn cds on my computer and found that soung while downloading there songs from the net. But like i said more power to hatebreed cause they rock and iam totaly fine with them being racist cause iam too and they are true white boys and play some damn good music and perform live kick ass. So anyone who is not racist out there thats you but leave others alone that are and like i said if hatebreed are racist so fuckin what move on and let them feel how they want to feel cause metal is hate and full of violence and head bangin and drinkin beer and jagermeister and being a racist hater and white power!!!! HATEBREED KEEP ON ROCKIN AND LIKE I SAID IF YOU ARE REALLY RACIST MORE POWER TO YOU BROTHER AND KEEP ON HATING AND PLAYING GOOD MUSIC. FROM, LIZ.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? No one gives a fuck about a shitty music review, and none of us care that a record label is trying to hose us and get us to buy this shit. We aren't the kind of people that buy shit because it's cool and we don't want to be on MTV and get our faggy fucking ABERCROMBIE CLOTHES AT THE FUCKING MALL!!

WE WILL TEAR THE FUCK DOWN ALL OF THE WALLS AND OBSTACLES AND OVERCOME. Don't be scared. Get on your fucking feet and quit hiding behind your peer pressures and your bullshit weaknesses. Thats what this music means to us. Its love and hate and anger and elation. Its pure emotion. Its heartfelt and I love it. I have been touched by it. And I am truly thankful that I have it in my life. And so to Jamey, Shawn Chris and Matt...you have been heard. Thank you.

"Why I never bought the Hatebreed CD"

by Chris Bickel

People involved in Punk music love to subject other people involved in Punk music to their idiotic whimsies and pathetic best-left-in-the-journal introspection. They sandwich it between some record reviews and photocopied pleas for the pardon of Mumia Abu Jamal and call it "zines". Being no different than any other self-involved would-be Punk Rock publisher, I too have produced in my lifetime a few such wastes of our Earth's dwindling natural resources. One of my efforts in the world of indiezinedom was called "SNIP". It was just as self-serving and pointless as any other zinester's effort, though gracefully lacking the record reviews, Mumia and PETA xeroxes, and bad emo-introspection/sap. The best thing that "SNIP" had going for it was the cover which featured Alphonso Ribero moonwalking in front of the Statue of Liberty. The "SNIP" logo was the "SPIN" logo cut up and rearranged.

I think I managed to xerox about 60 copies of SNIP which were taken along on one of IN/HUMANITY's North American tours. I think I either sold or gave away about 40 copies on that tour. Basically, I had thrown SNIP together in a few hours as a means of getting money for RC Colas and Nip-chees. It served its purpose, as I had all the RC and Nip-chee I required on that trip around the US and Canada.

After returning home I wanted to get rid of my remaining copies of SNIP, so I set up a table at a local Hardcore show. On the bill was a local band named STRETCH ARMSTRONG and some other chugga-chugga type acts. One of the bands on the bill was a newer group that I'd never heard of, HATEBREED.

I didn't actually care much about who was on the bill, as I am not a huge fan of the type of Hardcore that appeals to overdeveloped gymkata-practicing short-haired jocks in basketball tank-tops . I was just there to unload my remaining zines on some punk kids.

After about 20 minutes and having sold only 4 or 5 copies of SNIP I hear the kind of booming beligerent voice one might more likely hear at 3:00 AM in a cowboy bar than at a Veteran's Hall Hardcore show: "Where's the little faggot that wrote this shit!?? Are you the little faggot that wrote this shit!???"

A thicknecked ogre from the band HATEBREED lumbered towards me.

"Are you the little faggot that wrote this shit?!"

"I suppose I am that faggot, yes," I replied.

I was then blitzed with threats of a severe asskicking at my apparent "dissing" of the band's record label: Victory Records. I was repeatedly called a "faggot" for having written an article that poked fun at the business practices of a minor league label trying to run with the big boys. By this time a group of about 30 attendees were surrounding me. The entire band HATEBREED gathered around. Half of the band members tried to argue somewhat less than rationally about the perspective of my article (which essentially reprinted the hilariously corporate-minded promotional "one-sheets" sent to record stores to "shift units" for Victory Records -- with my own smart-ass comments written into the margins). The other half of the band continued to puff their chests and threaten me with severe pummelings. The singer of STRETCH ARMSTRONG physically stepped in between to prevent one of the HATEBREEDERS from physically breaking me in half. I tried my best to casually slouch back in my chair behind my Jackie Onassis black sunglasses and grin. Admittedly I was a tad apprehensive of a major imminent ass pounding, but the hilarity of the increasingly absurd situation did make it easy to play it off into a coy boyish smile.

I held my ground firmly, asserting that Victory Records was trying to sell false ideals of Hardcore being a lifestyle and a "movement", when their press releases to record shops clearly showed that they were no different than CAPITOL or WARNER BROTHERS. Is Hardcore really a youth movement when a record label promises "sniping campaigns in key markets to promote product awareness"? For that matter, what the hell is a "sniping campaign"? Do they send snipers out to the mall stores to shoot anyone that doesn't buy the new EARTH CRISIS CD? When a one-sheet goes out to a record store stating that "violence at shows promotes controversy, and controversy sells records", I feel no less than obligated to speak my mind. The kind of kids that put on shows at Vets Halls are into Hardcore because it means something more to them than an E chord mosh part (or D chord mosh part) and a heavy breakdown. Those are the kids that needed to be informed of the tactics labels like Victory were using on them. My article was printed both for informational purposes, and for the (higher) purpose of me doing something I enjoy: being a fucking smartass. The members of HATEBREED didn't like the article, but I don't know if they were upset over the smartassishness, or the fact that I was revealing the secret marketing strategies of their home label.

The singer of HATEBREED, Jamie, was the "thinker" of the bunch and actually listened to my points and offered a few semi-valid rebuttals. Eventually the band backed off because it was their time to play. Every copy of SNIP sold after the fracas, and I smiled to look around the room and see a bunch of kids reading my zine instead of watching HATEBREED's performance.

Several months later, HATEBREED returned to Columbia. I wasn't even aware that they were playing in town until I stopped by the record store I owned (NEW CLEAR DAYS) afterhours to pick up a movie to watch. There was a message on the answering machine from the singer of HATEBREED. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, someone had printed flyers up chronicling the events of the previous show and had handed them out at that evening's HATEBREED gig. Basically the flyer accused the band of being homophobic thugs amongst other not-so-nice things. (In the original argument that had taken place between myself and the band, I brought up the term "homophobic" in response to the band member that kept repeatedly calling me a "faggot". One of the other members of the band intelligently quipped: "oh he isn't afraid of faggots... he just fucking hates them.")

The answering machine message went like this:
"Hello, this message is for Chris, this is Jamie from the band HATEBREED. I happen to be the most unforgiving and intolerant member of the band. I also happen to be a homophobe... and I was just calling to try to straighten out this little matter that we have here. Apparently you are distributing some sort of flyer or pamphlet trying to slander us, just like you tried to slander Victory and our friend Raybees in the last little fanzine that you had. Well, we are gonna give you one chance to apologize and straighten this out because we are somewhat, ya know, cool people. You don't know us... You think you know us... you've tried to slander us in this little pamphlet that you put out... All I can say is the other guys in the band don't even wanna talk this out... we don't wanna go to jail while we're in Columbia, but we'd just as soon go to your store and SMASH SHIT IN YOUR FACE AND BREAK EVERYTHING YOU OWN, which we WILL DO if we HAVE TO. I don't know how you handle things around here, but we don't let people go around and spread lies about us and just let them get away with it. Now I'm not saying you made these flyers or whatever, but I don't know who would... and you being the prominent member of the South Caroliona scene that you are, we figured that you are probably behind it. So if you'd like to straigten this matter out give us a call at Chris from STRETCH ARMSTRONG's house... and if you would not like to straigten this out then I hope you don't have any plans on touring, and THIS IS A THREAT, because we don't appreciate this, OK? Thanks.

This tape was dubbed off, had the VILLAGE PEOPLE's "macho man" mixed in behind it and was used as an opening tape for a number of IN/HUMANITY's shows.

So I called this guy at the place where they were staying and talked to him for an hour about what was on the flyer. At some point I eventually convinced him that I had absolutely nothing to do with the flyer and that it would not be a good idea to "smash shit in my face and break everything I own." He told me that the band's reaction was "survival"-based, as a flyer like that could damage their "career".

As the conversation went on, I almost felt sorry for him as he seemed to be a fairly articulate guy in a band full of orangutans who were pressing him to dish out some street-style justice. Of course I didn't feel too sorry for him, as he did admit to being a homophobe, and he did threaten to destroy my store which was my frigging livelihood, and all of his ridiculous overreacting was based upon a silly article that was in a crappy zine I had thrown together in a few hours and had printed no more than 60 copies of.

Later someone gave me an audio bootleg of HATEBREED's Columbia show which featured the all-time-classic between-song-banter: "fuck Chris Bickel, fuck IN/HUMANITY, and fuck SNIP fanzine!" (Crowd cheers)

All of this and the fact that I hate chugga-chugga metally Hardcore:

That's why I never bought the HATEBREED CD

Fuck these homophobes.

My Score:

ok. i've never posted on here...

seeing as this is the first review i've read on here and most likely the last one i'll read, i've come to the same conclusion as i have about the "hardcore/punk scene" in general. The kids who are jocking the shit out of this album really enjoy the tougher. angrier, straight-forward, basic hardcore sound... you know, typical fast verse... chorus.. fast verse... breakdown style stuff. while all the kids shitting on this release tend to enjoy more "artistic" hardcore bands... or just do not enojy hardcore in general.

this disgusts me.

there is a time and a place for everything in hardcore. From bands like Mental... who are just a joke and about having a good time, to bands like Black Cross... who are very politically, communitivly, and intellectually involved, to in your face beatdown bands like Earth Crisis... they ALL have a place somewhere so get over yourself. I personally wont comment on what i like in particular, because you have to take everything for what it is.

so finally, after a long worded hardcore mission statement i dont think anyone should have to be reminded of... here's my actual review:
(i am writing this like an actual magazine reviewer because... well i want to_

Hatebreed is back with their 3rd Major record-lable release entitled "the rise of Brutality", and if you thought the title was lacking, you were right... however, the album as a whole is not a total loss.

Hatebreed attempts to remain true to their hardcore roots and even pays homage to NYHC legends "Sick of it All" with and interesting track taking lyrics from SOIA's early release "Just Look Around". It is also apparent that HB pays their respect to NY hardcore in general with the 2nd track sounding very reminiscient of NY's own "Madball".

The production of the album as a whole is astounding. The vocals are powerful, the drums beat, and the guitars crunch much like their live performance. Then again there are a few chessy and overdone vocal background effects are present and noticable in the track entitled "Doomsayer".

Here's my gripe. Contrary to the general consensus, Jamey is an intelligent front man... and due to the time in between releases i feel he did not have apt time to write many lyrics that were as creative or clever as the bands breakout album "Satisfaction is the Death of Desire". It may also just have occured that due to their astounding success, irony may have set in... and now shows the lack of effort he will put into his own thought process. Much of the album is less inspirational and more like an instruction booklet, which bored me.

Basically, if you've had a bad day, week, month... this is the album you'd want to listen to... it will inspire many of the masses to go out and hit something. So, how does one review an albu of this sort? If the album is called "The Rise of Brutality" maybe turning it's fans into brutes was the initial goal. Ifso, my compliments... if not, i'll stike to "Satisfaction...", keep my ears open for a show, and anticipate a better release next time.

i still love hatebreed, but i long for their past and pray for their future.

Anyways ... this album was a bit of a disappointment ... but then again so was their last album
Actually the only good full length Hatebreed has put out was Satisfaction
Gotta love the fact that Jamie and the bassist are the only original members
But they'll keep making shitty albums and all the little kiddies will buy them because they are so fucking hardcore
Props to the guy who mentioned Sick Of It All ... now there's some real fucking hardcore
And you have to love the fact that Hatebreed completely ripped off an old SOIA tune
Must be nice to sell out

My Score:

This album was a step in the right direction for Hatebreed. It's a very good redemption album after last years piece of crap Perseverance. Although it's nowhere near as good as Satisfaction, but I don't think they'll ever be able to top that album. Hatebreed are a good band, and get used to them, cause you'll be hearing alot about them in the future. Whoever signed them to Universal was a smart smart man, because as long as Jamey stays angry at the world, they will keep selling records. Although I wish they would go back to Victory, because it is pretty obvious that the major label is trying to make them into the next big thing. There is no reason for a trash metal/hardcore whatever the hell you want to call it band to have songs that are longer than 3 minutes.
As for Jamey Hatebreed. You are obviously not Jamey from Hatebreed. If you want to defend a band, make sure what you're saying makes sense first.

This is pretty decent. I've got a soft spot for the more chest-thumpin' NYHC stuff, even when it's not from NYC. File this next to SLAPSHOT and BLOOD FOR BLOOD in terms of music intensity and style. Their lyrics aren't as kindergarten as those other 2 bands though.
Anyone expecting anything more from this band is fooling themselves.

So I'm the only one who clicked on this and immediately said,

"Scott reviewed Hatebreed?"

In any case, I'm not qualified to say whether or not this is hardcore. But I never considered the 'screamo' bands to be hardcore. Since everyone's name-dropping I just thought I'd say that the only bands I listen to that I could consider such a genre is Every Time I Die, The Bled, Give Up the Ghost, Scraps and Heart Attacks, and the Backup Plan. Granted I just started to listening to them all this year.

"Dude, I am so looking forward to this record... do you guys have a metal/hard rock section?"

"Um. No. It's all in with the 'rock'."

"That sucks... you guys only have, like two Slayer cds. What the fuck's up with that?!"

"I have no clue."

"You need to get more metal, dude."

This is why I'm embarassed to own a Hatebreed cd.

"this isnt hardcore....this is pussycore. Macho insecurity to the max with overcompensating wannabe tough guys yelling like cookie monsters over shitty, tired music. Plus the guys in the band look like pussys anyway, how can u take them seriously?"

have you ever actually took the time to listen to hatebreed lyrics? or do you just assume that if its chugga chugga hardcore with low end vocals then they must obviously be singing about how tough they are?

id reccomend going to hardcorelyrics.com or something and reading up before making such an accusation. yes hatebreed has incredibly angry lyrics, but the lyrics are hardly macho or any of that tuff guy bullshit. if anything hatebreeds lyrics are what really struck me. when i was first discovering madball, blood for blood, skarhead etc etc in the late 90s victory era i was impressed by hatebreeds ability to express anger without coming off as a bunch of meatheads.

try going back and listening again.

This record is great. Its exactly what I want from this band, straight forward lyrics, angry vocals, heavy guitars, solid drumming, fast, direct and punishing songs. Thats why Hatebreed rules.

Then again, I don't care for bands like Murder By Death, Strike Anywhere, Against Me, Rufio or From Autumn to Ashes, like the rest of you teenie boppers fall head over heels for.

So, fire away.

i think youre getting hardcore confused with crust punk.

i seriously dont get all the jock comments either. hardcore has always been aggressive and pissed off. go back and look at agnostic front, cro mags, soia, etc. etc....all of these bands were angry as hell.

i'm sorry to everyone who thinks that hardcore is pop punk bands with shaggy hair and diesels who add a little screaming to your songs about having their hearts broken, because youre quite mistaken.

hardcore is supposed to be angry. if hatebreed want to play aggressive music that kids can mosh, sing along and fingerpoint to i for one dont see how that makes them jocks.

by that reasoning until the end, the promise, throwdown, walls of jericho and every other band that plays this style of hardcore must be football loving douchebags who wanted to beat your ass.

i'm sure had hatebreed stayed on victory, not done ozzfest and still played vfw halls you'd all have a very different opinion on them.

then i can cover antifreeze songs, sample the drumbeats from old swing records. everytime antifreeze say "love" or "alone" i will say "shit" and "cunt." the record i make will still be better than this shit.

both will be hilarious, but the music on mine will be better. i guarrrrannnnteee.
