The video for HATEBREED’s cover of the BLACK FLAG classic “Thirsty And Miserable” can be viewed below. The song was included on the Connecticut hardcore/metal masters’ recently issued covers album, entitled “For The Lions”, which sold around 10,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 58 on The Billboard 200 chart.
HATEBREED’s last collection of new material, “Supremacy”, opened with around 27,000 copies back in September 2006 to land at No. 31. This number was roughly in line with the first-week tally registered by its predecessor, “Rise Of Brutality”, which shifted more than 32,000 copies back in November 2003 to debut at No. 30.

Released in the U.S. on May 5 via E1 Music (formerly KOCH Records), “For The Lions” is the follow-up to the band’s #1 Billboard charting DVD, “Live Dominance” (released September of 2008).
The songs on “For The Lions” were carefully selected by HATEBREED to represent a panoramic view of some of their favorite artists and greatest musical inspirations. Having completed the album in 2008, the band felt their work wasn’t done yet and just returned to the studio with original guitar player Wayne Lozinak to record additional tracks for the album.
“For The Lions” was produced, engineered and mixed by long-time band associate Chris “Zeuss” Harris.

HATEBREED will release its new self-titled studio album in the fall via E1 Music (formerly KOCH Records) in North America and Roadrunner in all other territories. According to a press release, the follow-up to 2006’s “Supremacy” is shaping up to be one of HATEBREED’s “most ferocious albums ever.”
The new album is once again being produced by Chris “Zeuss” Harris at Planet Z studios in Hadley, Massachusetts and marks the return of original guitar player Wayne Lozinak (who recently replaced Sean Martin) alongside core members Chris Beattie (bass), Matt Byrne (drums), Frank “3 Gun” Novinec (guitar) and Jamey Jasta (vocals).
The band is currently taking a breather from the recording studio by touring Europe and South America, making a series of high-profile festival appearances and playing a number of headline shows before returning to the U.S. for the “Decimination Of The Nation” tour which begins later this month and runs through September.
Jasta recently told Noisecreep that HATEBREED’s new CD is “definitely hard as hell and there isn’t a lot of sludgy doomy stuff from my KINGDOM OF SORROW experience,” referring to his side project with CROWBAR’s Kirk Windstein. “A couple things may be vocally similar, but it’s the upbeat, aggressive approach that we always take. Everyone stepped up their game with the covers record and that challenged us to match the intensity and speed, and to do solos. This will be our first record with guitar solos. We’re not known for that. Wayne [Lozniak] is a shredder and that will surprise some people but it’s not overdone.”
