Hatebreed has premiered “Put It To The Torch,” the first official music video from their forthcoming new studio album, The Divinity Of Purpose. The video is available now worldwide exclusively on VEVO. The song is the first look into The Divinity of Purpose, which will be released on January 29, 2013 in the U.S./Canada on Razor & Tie and on January 25th in Europe/Ireland and on January 28th in the U.K. on Nuclear Blast.
“Put It To The Torch” was directed by Justin Reich (A Skylit Drive, Between the Buried And Me, Black Label Society).
The Divinity Of Purpose is available now for pre-order on iTunes here. When fans pre-order the album, they’ll also receive an instant download of “Put It to the Torch.”
The Divinity Of Purpose was co-produced by Hatebreed, Zeuss (Suicide Silence, All That Remains, Shadows Fall) and Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold). The album is already receiving early raves with Outburn awarding it a 9 out of 10 rating and commenting, “It’s fantastic. Think brutal, pile-driving metallic hardcore with Jamey Jasta’s formidable bark presiding over the whole thing. When it comes to mean as hell chuggery, you really can’t do much better,” and Metal Hammer praising it as “Breathless…F****** powerful like a war machine-- Hatebreed have re-defined the whole genre of hardcore/metal with their new album.”
Hatebreed heads to Europe this week where they will headline the EMP Persistence Tour 2013. The band kicks off their first official U.S. tour on January 26th in Flint, MI and will be on tour through February 17th in Amityville, NY with special guests and label mates, Shadows Fall along with support acts, Dying Fetus and The Contortionist (tour dates below).
