30 Years of ‘Hate’ and the crowd loves every bit of it--
Connecticut beatdown hardcore icons Hatebreed have spent most of 2024 on the road, celebrating their three decades as a band, and made a recent stop at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, following previous US and European tour legs.
Singer Jamey Jasta sounded super excited ahead of the tour, stating, "We are extremely grateful to have hit this milestone and to be able to celebrate it with the some of the best bands and fans in the world! We cannot wait to see everyone on the road!"
Drummer Matt Byrne added, “What a wild ride it has been! The ups, the downs, and all of the in-betweens... I have nothing but gratitude towards my bandmates and each and every one of our fans, worldwide! We’re coming to see you all!”
The band has gone from playing basements and backyards to being a featured, must-see attraction on countless festivals like Graspop, OzzFest, Warped, and Download, alongside massive high-profile tours. Their track "Looking Down The Barrel Of Today," surpassed 90 million global streams on Spotify, making it their single biggest career streaming track of the modern era and the band has sold over 1.5 million albums in North America alone, with their most recent being 2020’s “Weight of the False Self”.
UK death-grindcore extreme metal pioneers Carcass were also on the bill, deciding to focus on touring this year, instead of concentrating on a follow-up to 2021’s “Torn Arteries” (whose release was delayed a year due to the pandemic) saying the new music would come, when the time was right. When that album topped Decibel’s and Metal Hammer’s year-end best-of lists, we’ll assume the fans will happily wait for their next full-length.
The band actually formed in Liverpool back in 1985, breaking up in 1996 but reforming just over ten years later, with original bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker and guitarist Bill Steer still carrying the torch. They’re considered modern pioneers of deathcore and melodic death metal and have even remixed / re-imagined a track for Björk of all people, on “Isobel.”
Chicago industrial-metalcore unit Harm's Way (originally an offshoot side project of punk band Few and the Proud) do have a recent album to support, last year’s “Common Suffering” (via Metal Blade Records) which featured the singles (and videos), “Devour” Undertow” and “Silent Wolf”.
Sao Paulo Brazil death-metal thrashers Crypta were also on the bill, a newer band featuring the dynamic Fernanda Lira on bass and vocals, in support of their sophomore full-length, last year’s “Shades of Sorrow” (on Napalm Records).
