The first leg of Hatebreed’s The Divinity Of Purpose U.S. tour, featuring Shadows Fall, Dying Fetus and The Contortionist, came to an end this past weekend. It was a tour that offered a taste of all types of metal, from metalcore to death. Luckily for those who didn’t catch these bands on the same stage, [...]
Hatebreed has been touring in support of The Divinity Of Purpose with Shadows Fall, Dying Fetus and The Contortionist for the past few weeks. And while the tour comes to an end this weekend, the band has been vocal about arranging for a second U.S. trek this year (a point guitarist Frank Novinec repeated when [...]
It’s early January, which means one thing: It’s time to start speculating about all of the festival lineups happening this Spring and Summer.

Nuclear Blast is having one hell of a year. The German label set a record in April when Meshuggah’s Koloss sold over 18,000 copies. Now they’ve broken it just four months later with Testament’s 10th album. Dark Roots of the Earth sold over 8,000 copies more than 2009′s The Formation of Damnation. The Bay Area thrash [...]
