Grammy-nominated, Connecticut hardcore icons HATEBREED, who remain one of the most impactful and enduring bands of the modern era, have dropped the tectonic plate-shifting new single “Make The Demons Obey.”

It’s the first new music from the band since 2020’s Weight Of The False Self album.

And it was well worth the wait.

“Make The Demons Obey” is everything you know, love, want, and expect from HATEBREED. PMA lyrics, sick riffs, singalongs that will make you swarm to the front of the stage, and some of the deadliest, beefiest breakdowns known to man.

Listen here.

“Lots of bands say that their newest release will be their heaviest and I guess we are no different,” says singer Jamey Jasta. “We’ve managed to push the envelope and surpass our expectations. We’ve become tighter, harder and more vicious than ever. This is the most excited I’ve been for any Hatebreed release.”

“Very exciting things are happening in the Hatebreed camp,” states drummer Matt Byrne. “It’s time to unleash this beast — new music is here! This is the fastest, most vicious, and most aggressive music we have ever created and I’m pumped for the world to hear it.”

At press time, the band is independent and still deciding what direction it would like to go regarding a record label. But Hatebreed remain open to all options and ideas. In the interim, they will be releasing singles to keep fans satisfied and will self-fund the upcoming album.

HATEBREED guitarist Wayne Lozinak is currently on the mend. He was diagnosed with a meningioma in the brain while on tour in Europe but thankfully, it was benign. He will undergo the necessary surgery and treatment and be back on stages and in fighting shape in no time.

HATEBREED are currently on the road. This summer, the band resurrected the beloved and annual Summer Slaughter US tour for 2025, which runs through July 28th. The Summer Slaughter brand built its reputation as a breeding ground for new talent and to showcase up and coming heavy bands, alongside established headliners. Jasta is breathing new life into this legacy brand and will continue the long-held tradition of giving a live platform to the absolute best up ‘n’ comers in the scene.

Support for this year’s run includes Fugitive, Gridiron, Malevolence, Incite, Escuela Grind, and Snuffed on Sight on select dates. So the Summer Slaughter mission is clear: The best of the best. Get tickets and more info here or here. Remaining US tour dates follow further below.

HATEBREED return to the UK & Ireland as special guests to KILLSWITCH ENGAGE for a string of nine unmissable dates in October. And if that wasn’t enough, they’ll be joined by FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY and DECAPITATED. Tickets are on sale now here.

ABOUT HATEBREED

With dozens of pit-stirring anthems across albums, Hatebreed have built their reputation through decades of ruthless breakdowns and an Iron Man touring ethic, consistently selling out shows the world over. Over the course of its career, the band has gone from playing basements and backyards to being a featured, must-see attraction on countless festivals like Graspop, OzzFest, Warped, and Download, alongside massive high-profile tours.

Described by Forbes as “more relevant than ever in the metal and hardcore community,” the quintet remains one of the most definitive live acts in music today and recently celebrated a milestone with their track “Looking Down The Barrel Of Today,” which surpassed 90 million global streams on Spotify, making it their single biggest career streaming track of the modern era. To date, Hatebreed have sold over 1.5 million albums in North America alone.

Hatebreed’s most recent album, 2020’s Weight Of The False Self, was praised as a “return to their hardcore roots” by Brooklyn Vegan. The album was deemed “one of their most aggressive to date” by Consequence and “pummeling” by Revolver, while Psychology Today called it “a blazing combination of extreme metal and hardcore punk.” Hatebreed remain one of the most vital bands in the hard rock scene.
