When it comes to hardcore music, one of the most referred to bands is Hatebreed. There is no denying the influence and impact that the band has had over the years. To this day, I still proclaim that Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire is one of the top ten best hardcore albums of all time.

There’s another era of Hatebreed though that often gets under looked and that would be their self titled era in 2009. That album is an absolute beast of a record and it is chock full of great twists that make it the most eclectic and interesting album. One of the intriguing pasty’s about the album comes on at track twelve, “Undiminished.” After eleven songs that run the gamut of hardcore, metal, thrash, and sludge, out of nowhere comes an instrumental song that gives you a chance to hear how really good the band is. Plus it’s kind of fun to try to put your own spin on the song while listening.

Its tracks like this on heavy albums that give it a different vibe. Don’t get me wrong, I love brutality and heavy but, to be able to do a song like this just shows there’s more to Hatebreed than what’s on the surface.

Only a couple more weeks till Hatebreed’s new album, Fatal Paradox arrives!
