The rockers share new single amid their summer tour
Hatebreed has just unleashed a crushing new single, “Make the Demons Obey,” marking their first new music since 2020’s Weight of the False Self. The track made its debut on SiriusXM Liquid Metal.
Frontman Jamey Jasta shares his excitement, “Lots of bands say that their newest release will be their heaviest and I guess we are no different. We’ve managed to push the envelope and surpass our expectations. We’ve become tighter, harder and more vicious than ever. This is the most excited I’ve been for any Hatebreed release.”
Drummer Matt Byrne adds, “Very exciting things are happening in the Hatebreed camp. It’s time to unleash this beast — new music is here! This is the fastest, most vicious, and most aggressive music we have ever created and I’m pumped for the world to hear it.”
Hatebreed is currently independent and exploring options for a record label. In the meantime, they’ll be releasing singles and self-funding their upcoming album.
Guitarist Wayne Lozinak is recovering after being diagnosed with a benign meningioma in his brain while on tour in Europe. He’ll undergo surgery and treatment and is expected to make a full return to the stage.
This summer, Hatebreed revived the annual Summer Slaughter Tour for 2025, which concludes on July 28th in Grand Rapids. The tour is renowned for featuring emerging heavy bands alongside established headliners. Jasta is committed to continuing this tradition, providing a platform for the scene’s best up-and-comers.
This year’s lineup includes Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight on select dates.
