Hatebreed (album)

Hatebreed is the fifth studio album by American metalcore band Hatebreed. It was released on September 29, 2009. Frontman Jamey Jasta had this to say regarding the new album: "This is our fifth studio album and it's a monster! We've survived some pretty rough times and the music shows it. There was no reason to change the recipe that our fans know and love but we added a few brutal new ingredients and we're more than amped on the results. Violence is a given!"^[4] This is the first full-length, non-cover studio album that founding member and lead guitarist Wayne Lozinak appears on.^[5]
