Grammy Award-nominated band Hatebreed from Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut is back in the threshold to kick some serious metal ass. Something the have been doing since the birth of the band in 1994, taking hardcore/metalcore to a new level by adding groove and death metal elements.

After all those years and a total of 5 (6 if you count this one too) albums these guys now how to make good music. The songs are typical Hatebreed style and easy to recognize, but still sound original as if they really thought about it. For example, you’ll find a cool Machine Head trash influenced song on the self called album (Hands of a dying man) but still very Hatebreed alike.

All I can say about this one is that it’s a really solid album and one of the very few lately that I really enjoy to listen to (again and again) and I really advise you to give it a try, I promise you wont be disappointed.

90/100
