Fatal Paradox (AUS Exclusive Red Vinyl)

Grammy nominated, yet still bloodied and unbowed, Hatebreed has never been more important and influential than now. With millions of records sold and Spotify numbers that rival time-honored “hits”, the Bridgeport, CT - born hardcore band has spent the last three decades not merely navigating but shaping the sound of heavy music. In a world where the hardcore scene they helped spawn has never been bigger. Hatebreed is on fire.

Produced by long-time collaborator, Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Queensryche) Hatebreed’s ninth album and BLKIIBLK Records debut, Fatal Paradox, finds vocalist Jamey Jasta and crew reemerging after six years between releases with an album of blunt force Hatebreed anthems. Kicking off with “Kill Count Increase”, a song as vitriolic and unforgiving as crowdchurners like “Looking Down the Barrel of Today”, thensmashing into the likes of “Decisions Become Destinies” and “Total Invincible”, Fatal Paradox is the sound of Hatebreed doing what it does best. Even now, nearly 35 years into their bloody run, they are as fervored as ever, scorching festival stages including France’s Hellfest, Germany’s Wacken and numerous Danny Wimmer Presents festivals in the US. In 2026, Hatebreed isn't merely an icon of hardcore and extreme music, they remain a force unto themselves
