Hatebreed

Hatebreed's Heavyweights of Hardcore 2 tour featuring Agnostic Front, Diecast, Love Is Red and The Autumn Offering is scheduled to hit the House of Blues Anaheim this coming Monday January 17th. Having established themselves as the current leaders in the Hardcore world Hatebreed continue to kick down the doors of society’s safe zones and oust the population of pent up emotion and negative feedback by means of their own specialized formula of aggression fueled brutality. In essence this is anger management 101 Hatebreed style!  

Direct support for the tour comes from veteran Hardcore masters Agnostic Front who have been stirring up the dust since 1983. The band are currently readying the release of their latest effort scheduled to hit shelves on January 25th through Nuclear Blast Records and are sure to remind all of who it was that came first. Long outliving their now-legendary contemporaries like Minor Threat, SSD, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, Agnostic Front could easily live off their already established success, but their fight is far from over! Throughout their storied history, they have been anything but a ravishing group of individuals living prosperously and content, but more akin to have experienced growing up on the streets watching the lights shot out one by one. Jail terms have been served. Divorces have been filed. Close friends have died. Some have been murdered. All this said don't expect Another Voice to be a mellow introspective album. While there are definite vestiges of their past, this latest outing is true to Agnostic Front’s world today and not by merely dusting off Xeroxed memories of yesteryear. They sincerely have managed to continue and expose the conflicts they had to undergo in a compellingly evocative approach by relating it to their harsh views of today.

Also accompanying Hatebreed on the bill this year is the Boston based quintet Diecast who after a three year hiatus have returned with a new vocalist a new album and a renewed sense of determination. What ultimately sets Diecast apart from the pack is their unabashed intensity and unique songwriting ability that has since set the standard for unrelenting Metalcore. Their latest effort is a true metal album that hardcore fans will also not be able to resist.

While there are a number of great venues located throughout Southern California the House of Blues in Anaheim, located in Downtown Disney is truly at the top of the list and has built a respectable reputation during its three year history as being one of the best venues to see live entertainment. The club provides a healthy and safe environment for concertgoers and offers additional incentives as outstanding food served via their in house restaurant as well as a collectibles store for those seeking to further the clubs already illustrious banner. HOB Anaheim is located at 1530 S. Disneyland Dr. Anaheim, CA 92802 for more info call 714.778.BLUE.
