Connecticut hardcore band Hatebreed is thrilled to announce that they have joined forces with BLKIIBLK RECORDS. The label will release the band's forthcoming album, produced by long-time collaborator Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Accept, Shadows Fall). The follow up to 2020's Weight of the False Self is due out this fall. More details will be released in due course. 

“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," says singer Jamey Jasta. "We are beyond grateful and can't wait to unleash these tracks on the world!"

Drummer Matt Byrne weighs in, saying, "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!"

"One of my favorite things about making this record was working with our brother-in-arms, Zeuss, once again," continues Jasta. "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!"
