Hatebreed flyer

Only 5 more days until Hatebreed (main site, myspace) comes to town!  Hells ya I'm stoked.  It's back at the Palladium Ballroom, not a bad place to jump into the pit.  The last time I went, the pit action was intense.  This time the band is going to be recording for the live album, so you can bet I'll be there again.

I've been fan since 2004 when my brother in law introduced me to their music.  The first concert I went to was in December 2004 (Monsters of Mayhem Tour), I was fighting an upper respiratory infection at that time, but I didn't want to miss out.  I probably should have stayed in to rest, but hell... it's Hatebreed. 

What I've always respected about the band is that they play the large venues and even the smaller ones while out on tour.  Jamey Jasta (frontman) said that without the fans, they wouldn't be where they are.  He said it was the band's way of saying "thank you", so they play the smaller gigs to keep the ticket prices down.

Last year the band was headlining the Summer Of Supremacy Tour.  The Dallas gig was the Monsters of Mayhem II show.  Check out the flyer from last summer.

Summer of Supremacy Tour

I'm going to try and sneak my camera into the show again.  Last year, they wouldn't allow fans to take snapshots.  I'd try to snipe a few here and there, but ended up waiting until the show was over to try and get some with the band.  If you're in the area, try to attend, it's always a great night of music.  Here's some shots from last year.

The first shot is of Jasta on stage, second shot is me hanging with Jasta after the show.  The third shot is hanging with Trent (guitarist) of After the Burial, next shot is the paramedic that I asked to hold my stuff that night while I jumped into the pit (she was nice).  Last shot, just the stage as they were breaking it down.  If you've never been to a Hatebreed show, here's a video from Hellfest, the song is called "Puritan".

Lately, I can't stop listening to the new Kingdom of Sorrow album.  Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta is the vocalist and doesn't disappoint.  While the entire album kicks ass, I'd have to say that "Lead into demise" and "Hear this prayer for her" are my two favorite songs.  Here's the track listing:

1. "Hear This Prayer for Her" - 3:56
2. "Grieve a Lifetime" - 3:23
3. "Piece It All Back Together" - 3:31
4. "Led into Demise" - 3:12
5. "Demon Eyes (Demonized)" - 2:35
6. "With Unspoken Words" - 3:20
7. "Free the Fallen" - 2:51
8. "Screaming into the Sky" - 5:41
9. "Lead the Ghosts Astray" - 2:32
10. "Begging for the Truth" - 3:34
11. "Buried in Black" - 4:05

Check out the album cover.  Fans can find them on MySpace.  You can purchase it on Amazon.com.

Here's one of their songs.  Enjoy.
