HATEBREED has released a video for “The Carrion Choir,” the latest preview of its forthcoming ninth studio album, Fatal Paradox, due Nov. 6 through BLKIIBLK.
The new track leans into the band’s fastest, most aggressive instincts, combining hardcore breakdowns with thrash-driven pacing and the blunt-force delivery that has defined HATEBREED for nearly three decades.
Fatal Paradox marks HATEBREED’s first full-length release since Weight of the False Self in 2020 and begins a new chapter with BLKIIBLK, the metal and hard-rock imprint operated by Frontiers Label Group.
The album also reunites the band with longtime collaborator Zeuss, whose production résumé includes work with ROB ZOMBIE, ACCEPT and SHADOWS FALL. The previously released “Kill Count Increase” introduced the record with a crossover-thrash attack, while “The Carrion Choir” pushes deeper into the band’s hardcore foundation.
The 11-track record moves between d-beat aggression, thrash, breakdown-heavy hardcore and the metallic style HATEBREED helped push into the mainstream through releases such as Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire, Perseverance, The Rise of Brutality and Supremacy.
The album will also feature a guest appearance from OBITUARY vocalist John Tardy on “Sacrifice Season.”
