The album is already receiving early raves with Outburn awarding it a 9 out of 10 rating and commenting, “It’s fantastic. Think brutal, pile-driving metallic hardcore with Jamey Jasta’s formidable bark presiding over the whole thing. When it comes to mean as hell chuggery, you really can’t do much better,” and Metal Hammer praising it as “Breathless…F****** powerful like a war machine– Hatebreed have re-defined the whole genre of hardcore/metal with their new album.”

In a joint statement, Pete Giberga VP of A&R and John Franck SVP of Marketing for Razor & Tie comment, “Hatebreed’s anthems coupled with their do-or-die work ethic continues to make them a dominant force in hardcore and metal today. Their inclusionary message and deep relationship with their fan-base also makes them a band that is built for these times. With the group playing some of the best shows of its career, their renewed sense of purpose has never sounded more steadfast and resolute than it does on this forthcoming new record.”

The forthcoming new album was co-produced by Hatebreed, Zeuss (Suicide Silence, All That Remains, Shadows Fall) and Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold). Wilbur also handled mixing duties on the new record. The new studio album will be supported by extensive global touring that will stretch well into 2014.
