Great drumming and production, “The Right Thing” rocks like a Gap commercial, but it doesn’t last. I forget electronic-obsessed pop rock like this still exists.
Nightmarish soundscape black metal. Sounds like a horror movie from a room away on a stormy night, and the music often sounds like a cat walking across a piano.
Duets with Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Neil Young, Keith Richards, Merle Haggard, Kid Rock, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Little Richard, etc.
This band can grind like the Masscore bands, pinch their balls and squeal like the heavy metal skippies, and prog it out like, uh, whoever still plays “prog.”
Consistent and listenable from end to end, with some interludes and keys to keep it interesting. Nice leads, scary whispers, no sissy singing or orchestration.
I’ve never been a big Hatebreed fan, but I’ve always respected their work ethic, even if I haven’t gushed about how great their new batches of tunes are.
