LOS ANGELES, CA - Friday, April 29, 2016 -- On Hatebreed's upcoming album The Concrete Confessional (May 13, Nuclear Blast worldwide), the lyrics grapple with a number of the injustices and frustrations that people are experiencing in today's society. Songs such as "A.D.," "Us Against Us," and "Looking Down the Barrel of Today" speak to these issues. "Sometimes it's not so easy to have a positive mental attitude," said Hatebreed's lyricist Jamey Jasta, "but at the end of the tunnel, there is light."

In addition, beginning today, Best Buy will exclusively make available a limited-edition CD single with the new track "A.D." and a live version of "Destroy Everything," recorded at the UK's 2009 Download Festival.
Hatebreed - vocalist Jamey Jasta, guitarists Wayne Lozinak and Frank Novisec, bassist Chris Beattie, and Matt Byrne on drums, are currently on a 14-date European tour and will begin this project's first North American run on May 13 in Cleveland, OH. Confirmed dates are below.
