Hatebreed Drop Ferocious New Single, Instinctive (Slaughterlust)

Ahead of the release of upcoming eighth album Weight Of The False Self next month, Hatebreed have just unveiled the record's crushing opener, Instinctive (Slaughterlust).

Accompanied by a Justin Reich-directed video, Instinctive (Slaughterlust) follows the release of the title-track in September, and sees the Connecticut hardcore titans at their ferocious best.

"In a fight for survival, which a lot of us are right now, we must channel our inner animal and trust our instincts," explains frontman Jamey Jasta.

Meanwhile, of the LP as a whole, drummer Matt Byrne teases, "There’s no shortage of beefy riffs and adrenaline-fuelled drums on this record. I’m proud to say that we will consistently provide a soundtrack to which you can mosh in your living room and destroy your apartment."

Weight Of The False Self is due out on November 27 via Nuclear Blast.
