Hatebreed is a hardcore band from Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut. The band was founded in November of 1993 by Jamey Jasta, Dave Russo, Larry Dwyer and Chris Beattie in Wallingford, Connecticut from the ashes of a previous Hardcore band called Jasta 14 for the purpose of creating a "back to basics" hardcore punk band. They began by recording a three song demo and selling it to locals. Those three songs would eventually be released on a split seven inch with New York's Neglect in 1995. They followed that up with the highly acclaimed EP Under the Knife in 1996, and the following year released what many fans consider the definitive '90s album of the genre, Satisfaction is the Death of Desire on Victory Records. Satisfaction sold more copies than any other debut in the history of the record company.
A constant touring schedule pushed them beyond the boundaries of the hardcore punk scene, and tours with national metal bands such as Slayer, Deftones, Entombed and Napalm Death brought them to the attention of many non-hardcore/metalcore fans. These influences were apparent on the band's next two releases, 2002's Perseverance, and especially 2003's The Rise of Brutality.
After the release of The Rise of Brutality, the band took part in the 2004 Unholy Alliance tour in Europe with Slayer, Slipknot and Mastodon. In June, 2006, Hatebreed embarked on a European tour which included a Main Stage performance at the Download Festival in Donnington, U.K. Immediately following this European tour, they were a Main Stage performer for the 2006 Ozzfest Tour.
The band's latest album, Supremacy was released in August, 2006, their first through Roadrunner Records, featuring new guitarist Frank Novinec (who'd previously spent time playing with Ringworm, Terror, and Integrity).
