Fatal Paradox

Grammy-nominated and still bloodied and unbowed, Hatebreed remain one of heavy music’s defining forces. Born in Bridgeport, CT, the hardcore band have spent nearly 35 years not just moving with the scene they helped build, but shaping it. With millions of records sold and huge Spotify numbers, they still hit with real weight.

Produced by longtime collaborator Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Queensryche), their ninth album and BLKIIBLK Records debut, Fatal Paradox, brings Jamey Jasta and crew back after six years with a set of blunt-force anthems. From Kill Count Increase to Decisions Become Destinies and Total Invincible, this is Hatebreed doing what they do best.

They’re still tearing through major festival stages including France’s Hellfest, Germany’s Wacken and numerous Danny Wimmer Presents festivals in the US. In 2026, Hatebreed are not just hardcore and extreme music icons, but a force entirely their own.
