Hatebreed release new music video for ‘Instinctive (Slaughterlust)’

HATEBREED have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Instinctive (Slaughterlust), is taken from the hardcore heavy hitters’ upcoming new album, Weight Of The False Self, which is scheduled to be released in November this year.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Jamey Jasta says, “in a fight for survival, which a lot of us are right now, we must channel our inner animal and trust our instincts.”

Continuing to talk about the album, Jasta adds, “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 set for release on November 27th via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
