If you have already heard anything by Hatebreed, then you do not need to read any further. This hardcore band’s latest album does not deviate far from the path that they are on. This album did not “go melodic,” however there tends to be a few vocals that are “yelling notes.” This album does not show off—simplicity works best for hardcore music. The easiest guitar riffs to play sound the heaviest. The only noticeable difference is that a few of their choruses have somewhat of a punk feel. But overall, no fan will say either “They sold out!” or “This is their best album ever!” This is because their new album could have been recorded anytime between 2002 and now and no one would be the wiser. Hatebreed stick to what works and have no plans of changing a thing. Recommended if you’re a fan of Terror. (E1 Music, www.elentertainment.com) Paul Nordin
