Hatebreed has been a band for 13 years. Thats a pretty
long time for a band of any genre, let alone a hardcore/metal
band. In 13 years, Hatebreed has earned a soft spot in the
hearts of millions of people, including myself. Kids with
big pants. Tough dudes. Not tough dudes, and that girl that
works at hot topic who should spend more time reading and
educating herself than worrying about how many more bracelets
she can get around her wrists. Hatebreed has undeniably been
a huge crossover band from underground to mainstream. Their
latest effort Supremacy is another 13 tracks of
Hatebreed doing what they do best. Jamie is still really really
pissed, the guitars are still bone crushing, the drums are
a kick in the dick, and Roadrunner Recs. has themselves another
top selling record.
I honestly dont have a lot to say about Supremacy.
Its really no different than any other Hatebreed record.
The production has stepped up a little bit, but the song writing
is still the same. If I was new to the band and I sat down
and listened to all their records, I wouldnt be able
to tell Supremacy apart from any thing else theyve
ever recorded. Dont get me wrong, I do like it, and
Im sure if youre already a Breed fan, you will
too. Its heavy, its fast, its got its
ups and downs, (especially Destroy everything)
however Supremacy is nothing new from a band
and a genre that really doesnt have much more to offer,
except adding pop hooks, and sweet guitar solos
but that
is completely unnecessary with a band like this. They do what
they do well, and they will be heard.
