Hatebreed - Plan To Enter The Studio In Winter/Spring 2024
Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta confirmed in a recent interview with Blabbermouth that the band is intending to hit the studio around late winter/early spring of next year to begin recording their next album. Tentatively due later in 2024 or 2025, the album will be the follow-up to 2020's The Weight Of The False Self.
In regards to the new record's progress, Jasta said: "We've been writing a lot of songs. I have a good number of lyrics. We'll probably get into the studio early next year and work around the residency. We had a residency in Long Island - we had three shows sell out today in 30 minutes, so we're adding a fourth night. There are already talks of adding a fifth night. Frank [Novinec, guitar] is in Florida, and Wayne [Lozinak, guitar] is on the West Coast, so if they fly in for rehearsals, we'll probably do some writing and probably get into the studio in late winter/early spring and maybe, hopefully, have something out by the fall or winter. But for The Weight Of The False Self, I think every band felt the need to be busy during the downtime and wanted to get something done. This time around, I've been waiting for those moments where I feel really inspired and I try to work more inspired and not just work-to-work. But both approaches work. If you're not inspired and you have to put your nose to the grindstone, eventually, you stumble upon something great. You do have to put the work in. I've done enough records and produced a lot of records in the last four years - I've executive produced and produced four or five records in the last few years, where it's like you have to give your ears a break and hit it when it's fresh. But seeing and hearing a lot of these bands that are young and inspiring made me appreciate the different subgenres and styles of production and tones. There are so many young, talented bands that sound different now, which is awesome. I think we went through a time where everybody was gridded out. Everybody had the same distortion. Everybody had the same vocal pre-amp or vocal effect. I liked a lot of it. I appreciated a lot of it, but now I'm hearing this new wave of bands that are doing all different tunings and some really cool placement of notes and melodies and riffs on different areas of the neck. I'm always listening and getting inspired. Some of it will apply to Hatebreed, but some won't since we're an institution at this point. We have to keep the recipe the same, but I like to get different ingredients in. You learn to appreciate those ingredients over time. If we followed up two years ago, I don't know if it's going to be as inspired as it's going to be now. We've given it enough time and life. I think they got their due."
