With a run of European festival dates including Hellfest and Outbreak in the UK, as well as the first leg of the annual Summer Slaughter tour on deck, Hatebreed is showing no signs of slowing. In addition to a relentless tour schedule, the band has now dropped the news of their recent signing to BLKIIBLK Records. 

The latest acquisition on the roster that now includes the likes of Megadeth, Cro-Mags, Biohazard, Unto Others and more, Hatebreed will release the much anticipated follow-up to 2020's Weight of the False Self on their new label this fall. Along with the news of the new label, Hatebreed has also confirmed that the next record finds the band realigning with longtime producer and collaborator, Zeuss. 

Jamey Jasta spoke out the pending release and the vital role that Zeuss has played in the evolution of Hatebreed. "One of my favorite things about making this record was working with our brother-in-arms, Zeuss, once again. His connection with Matt, Wayne, Frank, Carl, and me goes far beyond the producer's chair, I’ve known him since the Pushbutton Warfare and Jasta 14 days, he's been like a sixth member of this band for years.

When you're chasing something timeless, memorable, and meaningful, having that level of trust and understanding makes all the difference. We would high five, scream, pace, and celebrate every time we elevated the song or hit on something killer. From 'I Will Be Heard' to 'Destroy Everything,' 'Looking Down The Barrel' to now, 'Decisions Become Destinies!' We got another one Zeussky!"

Jasta also shared his enthusiastic outlook for the band on the new label. “BLKIIBLK put together a dream team to get behind the new Hatebreed record and we couldn’t be happier — new label, new horizons, crushing new songs. We are beyond grateful and can't wait to unleash these tracks on the world!"

Hatebreed drummer Matt Byrne echoed the sentiment, "2026 is the year of Hatebreed. This juggernaut as we know it is picking up the pace rapidly and is taking no prisoners. As if 2025 wasn't enough of a truly busy and successful year, this summer sees multiple European festivals/headline tours for the band, two separate U.S. legs of the Summer Slaughter tour, and a powerhouse of a new record dropping this fall on an awesome new label BLKIIBLK!!! We can't wait to see everyone on the road!"

Stay tuned for updates and new music from Hatebreed as the rollout for the new album begins. Hatebreed will be on the road the first leg of the Summer Slaughter Tour next month along with Devourment, Incantation and will head the second leg later this summer with Terror, Gates to Hell and more.
