HATEBREED - SUPREMACY Green - RECORD

Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta described Supremacy as an "all-out onslaught of completely adrenaline-charged, in-your-face brutality," and who are we to argue (in fact, we'd be afraid to)?! Hatebreed came up through the Connecticut hardcore scene (they actually kind of invented it), and recorded acclaimed albums for the Victory and Universal labels before moving to Roadrunner for this 2006 record, which featured the debut of guitarist Frank "3 Gun" Novinec. Supremacy's sonic assault took it to #31 on the charts, but there's more to it than just piledriving riffs; Jasta's personal statement (reproduced on the insert) is remarkable for its honesty and its quasi-Nietzschean philosophy, and the lyrics (e.g. "Mind over All;" "Supremacy of Self") follow suit. Remastered for its U.S. vinyl debut by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, pressed in hazy green, "up in smoke" wax limited to 500 copies!
