Roadrunner To Release New Studio Album In All Other Territories

(New York, NY) —Metal-Hardcore juggernauts HATEBREED have re-entered the studio to begin work on its long awaited new studio album which is slated for a fall 2009 release.

HATEBREED’s follow up to 2006’s SUPREMACY will be released on E1 Music in North America and Roadrunner in all other territories. The new album will be self-titled and is shaping up to be one of the band’s most ferocious albums ever.

Frontman Jamey Jasta comments, “I can’t wait to work with E1 Music and Roadrunner International on this release — E1 did a great job with our LIVE DOMINANCE DVD and our recent covers album. We’re so pumped to give them both our new studio album!”

The announcement of the band’s new album is also part of E1’s continuing / expanding relationship with the group after its initial first 2 releases together, including the #1 charting Billboard DVD LIVE DOMINANCE and the recently released covers album, FOR THE LIONS.

Scott Givens, E1 Music’s VP of Metal says, “E1 Entertainment is proud to be the home of Hatebreed in North America. I speak for everyone here when I say we are 100% committed to putting every resource we have behind the new record. Jamey Jasta is part of our E1 family and we are looking forward to continuing to work with him on all of his endeavors both now and in the future.”

Wally van Middendorp, with Roadrunner International, adds, “After having released their last two studio albums on Roadrunner internationally, it is an honor to work again with HATEBREED, a band that is on top of its musical league.”

The new album will be once again produced by Zeuss and will feature the return of original guitar player Wayne Lozinak (who recently replaced departed guitarist Sean Martin) alongside core members Chris Beattie (bass), Matt Byrne (drums), Frank “3 Gun” Novinec (Guitar) and singer Jamey Jasta.

Jasta continues, “The record is mean as hell, fans of American metal and east coast hardcore will be very pleased and maybe even somewhat surprised.”

The band is currently taking a breather from the recording studio and touring Europe and South America doing a series of high profile festival appearances and headline shows in before returning to the U.S. for its own headline DECIMINATION OF THE NATION tour which begins in late July and runs through September.

To date, HATEBREED has sold over 1 million albums in the U.S. alone and toured the world with the likes of Slayer, Slipknot, System of The Down, Lamb of God, Korn, Killswitch Engage, Disturbed, Black Sabbath and much more.

“Those that are fans of my infamous “Beard on Beard” interview series know that yours truly is a huge fan of a manly set of chin-whiskers. So when I found myself in the parking lot outside the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival casually chatting with the Metal Injection dudes and some dude with a ridiculously lush, full, styled piece of facial hair, I had to know more about him. Turns out this international man of mystery was vocalist J. Costa of Rhode Island metal warriors Thy Will Be Done. Mr. Costa graciously agreed to conduct an impromptu interview in which we spoke about beard grooming tactics, guys’ and girls’ differing opinions on the beard, the role of the beard as natural air conditioner, and eventually, oh, some band for which Mr. Costa happens to sing.”

Read the full post and interview here.

Thy Will Be Done’s follow up release to ‘Was And Is To Come’ entitled ‘In Ancient Of Days’ will be released June 30th via Stillborn Records. Pre-Order for the album will be available soon and more information on some 2009 Touring as well. You definitely want to watch this band in 2009. The cover artwork is below:

Early in their Japanese trek, the band fell victim to theft when guitarist Chris Drapeau’s gear was stolen from their van. Commented vocalist J Costa: “The good heavily outweighs the bad. Our losses are monetary, but no price can be placed on the experience, opportunity and satisfaction we’ve earned playing for such great fans. Japan is a great place and we are simply blessed to be here.”

“Was And Is To Come” was released in the United States last October through Jamey Jasta’s Stillborn Records, and in Japan March 2008 through Toys Factory Records.

THY WILL BE DONE recently performed at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival prior to their East Coast tour in May supporting DYING FETUS and SWORN ENEMY.

Video update from Japan #2:

Video update from Japan #1:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control. We will not be able to make tomorrow nights show in Centerville, TN, and we had to drop off the Becoming the Archeytype tour. We can only hope that the circumstances will turn around soon, cuz, we look forward to getting back on the road. We hope and support.”

“At this point I feel that we have accomplished everything we could have hoped for with FATA. It doesn’t feel much like a break up. Just feels like the end. It’s complete. I would say that we are going on indefinite hiatus because the term breakup suggests a more negative circumstance. There have been no quarrels between band members. It is also not a question of fan support because we are lucky to have some of the most loyal and impassioned friends a band could ask for. Thank you again for the overwhelming support of our last album. I’ve dedicated almost 9 years to FATA and it’s become something of a security for me.”

Notably, Mark and FATA guitarist Rob Lauritsen recently launched a new band called Warship. According to Mark, “I’m looking forward to feeling uncertain and the freedom of starting a new band that has no definition. We don’t have any expectations or specific goals with Warship. We just want to play loud, have fun and share some positive music with our friends.”

Warhip is currently in a New York studio recording their debut release with producer Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Pelican). The as-yet-untitled disc is due out on Vagrant Records later this fall.

Mark explains: “The name Warship comes from a time last year when I was making worship candles (the tall, skinny glass jar candles you get in Brooklyn dollar stores and bodegas),” continues Mark. “They have paintings of saints on one side and a prayer on the opposite. I was buying blank candles and doing my own paintings on them. A friend asked me on a phone call what had I been up to and when I said “making worship candles”, she thought that I meant candles with actual warships on them. This led me to thinking about the relationship between the two. How discouraging it is when ‘worship’ begets ‘warships’.”

“It has been months and we have kept silent. But this latest slap in the face from our supposed record label has pushed us over the edge. We just read on the Internet that Josh Grabelle [Trustkill head honcho] plans to release a ’special edition’ of our 2006 album ‘The Truth’ one month before releasing our new album.

“Let it be known that BLEEDING THROUGH is 100% against this so-called ’special’ edition. We did not approve the title, cover artwork (whatever it is), track listing or bonus features for this transparent and obvious cash-grab of a re-release from a record label that despite selling a quarter of a million of our albums worldwide is having problems.

“Over a year ago we suggested the idea of a re-release of the album to Trustkill — on our terms, of course, with our artistic vision — and he said he’d consider it if we could land a ‘big’ tour. We confirmed a tour with MARILYN MANSON and SLAYER, followed by a tour with HIM, and he said ‘NO’ to us. He thought we should put out a new album instead.

“Now we have a new album finished that we are very proud of and he wants to squeeze our fans and our band by throwing out an unapproved ’special’ edition in a fast and overt attempt to pay some bills.”

HATEBREED enlisted Vinnie Paul to produce, document and record the band’s May 27, 2008 concert in Dallas, Texas at the Palladium Ballroom. The resultant recording will be released as HATEBREED’s live album, due before the end of the year.

HATEBREED recently signed a “multi-tiered, worldwide deal with KOCH Records. As part of the new deal, KOCH Records will release a series of highly anticipated future projects from the kings of hardcore metal.

The first project under the new deal will be HATEBREED’s first-ever live DVD, entitled “Live Dominance”. The main DVD concert shoot took place at Harpo’s in Detroit on Saturday, March 29, 2008 in front of a sold-out crowd. Directed by Kevin Custer, the DVD will also feature a collection of recent live shows from various tour stops in Germany, Philadelphia, New York City and New Haven, CT.

BYZANTINE’s latest album, “Oblivion Beckons“, was released in January 2008 through Prosthetic. The CD was the follow-up to 2005’s “…And They Shall Take Up Serpents“, which led to touring throughout the United States and Canada, including an appearance at New England Metal and Hardcore Festival in 2006.

The band’s first-ever DVD, “Salvation“, came out last year, featuring a live performance, exclusive bootlegs, an uncut video for the track “Jeremiad” and behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.

A photo of HATEBREED with Vinnie Paul taken this past Tuesday in Dallas can be viewed below (courtesy of Steve Ross).

HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta previously stated about the prospect of working with Vinnie: “We can’t even begin to explain how excited we are to be recording our live album with Vinnie Paul! It’s a great honor and privilege to be working with him on this. Vinnie knows his shit and doesn’t fuck around! He’s the man to get us the massive live tones we need to make this a special release. This is not just a live CD, this is live in TEXAS, where everything is bigger and badder!”

Vinnie Paul added: “I am extremely excited to be producing, recording and documenting HATEBREED for their LIVE CD from Dallas, Texas!!! After touring with them and being personal friends with them for years, I know first-hand what a brutal and energetic band they are and how die-hard their fans are. I plan on capturing that energy and brutality live and then some!”

In other news, HATEBREED bassist Chris Beattie has just launched his official tour blog from the band’s Jägermeister Music Tour with TYPE O NEGATIVE and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD. Read it at HardTimes.ca.

HATEBREED recently signed a “multi-tiered, worldwide deal with KOCH Records. As part of the new deal, KOCH Records will release a series of highly anticipated future projects from the kings of hardcore metal.

The first project under the new deal will be HATEBREED’s first-ever live DVD, entitled “Live Dominance”. The main DVD concert shoot took place at Harpo’s in Detroit on Saturday, March 29, 2008 in front of a sold-out crowd. Directed by Kevin Custer, the yet-to-be titled DVD will also feature a collection of recent live shows from various tour stops in Germany, Philadelphia, New York City and New Haven, CT.

“Never Let It Die” was filmed during Hatebreed’s European leg of the band’s SUPREMACY WORLD TOUR last fall. It is part live performance footage of their brutal and intense show and part candid /behind the scenes footage of the band in a more relaxed, not so serious vibe.

Jamey Jasta revealed, “The song means a lot of different things to me, but mostly it’s about the feeling of being involved in the metal and hardcore community, playing live shows and touring with so many great bands through out the years. It’s open to interpretation, but it’s basically about seizing a feeling or a moment that you cherish and not letting it slip away; hence the title “Never Let It Die”. Jasta adds, “We wanted it to be an uplifting and inspiring track and with this video we felt like we really captured the intensity of the crowd while showing how much we really enjoy and cherish doing what we do by bringing our music to the diehard metal and hardcore fans all over the world.”

The “Never Let It Die” video will be the last off the Supremacy album, which Jasta went on to explain, “we wanted to end it on a high note, since this song has been in our set for over a year it just felt right to make a video for it and we love the outcome… we hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!”

Please check out the premiere of NEVER LET IT DIE on MTV2 Headbangers Blog tomorrow – Thursday, May 22nd.

One-Way Mirror is a brand new rock/metal band on the verge of triggering a revolution in the world of music. The band was created in 2006 when five close friends decided to join forces to create the ultimate rock/metal band: Guillaume Bideau (Mnemic), David and Franck Potvin (Lyzanxia), Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork) and Loic Colin (Scarve).

One-Way Mirror’s self-titled debut album is nothing less than a killing machine with potential megahits, including future anthems ‘Empty Spaces’, ‘As You Are Now’, ‘Destination Device’ as well as a mind blowing rock version of ‘Relax’ by eighties band Frankie Goes To Hollywood!

One-Way Mirror recorded the drums for the album with Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah) at the Dug Out Studio while everything else was recorded at Lyzanxia’s Dome Studio/Guillaume Bideau’s Dogs In The House Studio and produced by Guillaume Bideau and David Potvin. The band then went to Denmark to get the tracks mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Sick Of It All) at Antfarm Studios.

Comments guitarist David Potvin: “As a newcomer band, we’re proud to be part of this pioneer label, which discovered cult bands such as Metallica and Slayer and continues to develop the most kick ass bands like As I Lay Dying, The Ocean and many more. We already know that we’re gonna do a great job together. We’ll see you on stage soon. Kick-start the melee!”

“Huge news for all the Jacknife fans out there–the band has recently signed with Dallas-based Battle Flag Records and is currently putting the finishing touches on their new full-length album, A Plague of People. Stay tuned…in the coming weeks and months expect a new look, new music, a new video, and most importantly A NEW RECORD!!! The album is slated for mid-summer release, with tour dates and additional info to follow. Thanks to all the loyal fans for their continued support…without you guys none of this would be possible. We look forward to sharing this new music with you–KEEP METAL ALIVE!!”
