BASSIST CHRIS BEATTIE INJURED IN ACCIDENT AND WILL UNDERGO SURGERY AND SIT OUT FALL TOUR

Chris Beattie was injured earlier this week in an accident and will need to undergo immediate surgery. Beattie will sit out the Fall Tour and Matt Bachand from label mates, Shadows Fall, will fill in for Beattie. Beattie explains, "On Monday a large branch fell off a tree I was cutting and knocked the ladder I was on out from under me. I fell 8 feet off the ladder onto the sidewalk and luckily was able to throw the chainsaw away from me on the way down. I broke my left wrist and right elbow. I will be going 'under the knife' this Friday to correct the breaks and start the healing process. Jamey, Wayne, Matt, Frank and our manager Steve have all been very supportive and I look forward to getting back out on the stage as soon as I can. Please go out and support Hatebreed as they leave for a short US tour today. Thanks to Matt from Shadows Fall for filling in for me. See you soon.”

“The Connecticut based band have truly outdone themselves (again) on their sixth opus….Epic.” - 4/5 Stars Alternative Press

“The Divinity of Purpose sounds like: think, brutal, pile-driving metallic hardcore with Jamey Jasta’s formidable bark presiding over the whole thing, but as with all their records, it still has a personality of its own. Oh, and its fantastic. When it comes to mean as hell chuggery, you really can’t do much better.” – Outburn (9/10)

“Hatebreed’s purpose is coming up with more ways to chug and tumble, and slug and stomp your ugly guts out. Divine indeed!” -Decibel

“Hatebreed has become one of those bands that you can count on… heavy as fuck, in your face, mosh worthy record with hooks that will have the whole pit chanting word for word.” - Hails & Horns

“Hatebreed don't mess around. The Divinity of Purpose, is shaping up to be just as crushing as everything they've ever done, if not more so. It's primed to ignite mosh pits from New Haven all the way to New Delhi.” – Artist Direct

“It's very mosh 'n' stomp, Hatebreed style. It's brain-busting burst of mosh-worthy hardcore.” - 10 Metal Albums to Check Out This Winter - AOL Noisecreep

“Returning to its ferocious best, tearing through 37 minutes of blitz krieg dynamics, galloping rhythms and muscular riffery.” - Billboard

“‘Put it to the Torch’ is certainly a satisfying taste of what’s to come. It certainly heats up the cold winter months.” -Loudwire.com

“Hatebreed's New Song Is, In Fact, "All Pit, No Shit"-Metal Injection

“Breathless...F****** powerful like a war machine… Hatebreed have re-defined the whole genre of hardcore/ metal with their new album..." -Metal Hammer

Hatebreed just wrapped up the 2013 EMP Persistence Tour that played to sold-out rooms throughout Europe.
