Hatebreed has been thrashing stages and melting ear drums now for 20 years. Their most recent album, “The Concrete Confessional“, has been out for a few weeks and the guys of Hatebreed landed themselves at the iconic Chicago venue, The Metro, on Saturday night.
Devil You Know and Devildriver established the mood of the evening with their own brand of punk, thrash metal that lubed up the senses of the horde in waiting.
Catching Hatebreed live was one of the most intense shows I have ever been to. A swarm of sweaty bodies whipped around the Metro floor with each and every powerful word that lead singer Jamey Jasta belted out. The masses bashed about with exuberance as Hatebreed played nearly 25 songs off their catalog of raucous tunes starting off with “Destroy Everything” and culminating with the historic “I Will Be Heard”.
The intensity that Hatebreed displays on stage is far beyond that of most bands that you will see on stage today. Most try but Hatebreed perfects it and shows no signs of slowing down.
