Hatebreed announce new album ‘Weight Of The False Self’
HATEBREED have announced a new album!
Titled Weight Of The False Self, the upcoming album from the American hardcore heavyweights is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s The Concrete Confessional and is scheduled to be released in November, via Nuclear Blast Records.
The upcoming album was produced by frequent HATEBREED collaborator Zeuss and it arrives on the heels of the band’s sold-out 2019 anniversary shows and the unprecedented success of 2016’s The Concrete Confessional.
Speaking about the upcoming album, frontman Jamey Jasta says, “when writing lyrics and riffs, I try to be in the moment, getting a mental picture of my current reality in order to convey what I want to say. Sometimes, I think my reality consists of two irreducible elements, expressed by the age-old interior battle of the dualistic self. The angel on one shoulder stands firm, providing reason, wisdom, and compassion while the devil dances angrily on the other, ranting with passion, spite, and dark desire. I often wonder if a truly centered mind is attainable, an effortless and non-dualistic state of equilibrium. Until then, I’ll just listen to both sides of my personality and hope I make the right choice. At the end of the day, the listener will choose to hear what they want, but when I am writing, I imagine the voice of the angel to be a lil’ louder.”
“Weight of The False Self is a perfect representation of HATEBREED in 2020, a fresh onslaught of soon-to-be classics with all the elements that led you here since day one,” adds guitarist Frank Novinec. And drummer Matt Byrne shares, “there’s no shortage of beefy riffs and adrenaline-fueled drums on this record. I’m proud to say that we will consistently provide a soundtrack to which you can mosh in your living room and destroy your apartment.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; the title-track Weight Of The False Self.
