HATEBREED KICK OFF “THE RISE OF BRUTALITY TOUR” HEADLINING U.S. TREK ON THE HEELS OF THE BAND’S CO-HEADLINING SECOND STAGE SLOT ON OZZFEST; “I WILL BE HEARD” FEATURED IN ‘XXX’ FILM AND SOUNDTRACK; ‘PERSEVERANCE’ ALBUM SALES CONTINUE TO BUILD TO OVER 300,000 WORLDWIDE
HATEBREED‘s PERSEVERANCE continues to pay off as they recently kicked off their headlining “The Rise Of Brutality Tour” on the heels of the band’s co-headlining second stage slot on Ozzfest. HATEBREED—JAMEY JASTA (vocals),SEAN MARTIN (guitar), CHRIS BEATTIE (bass) and MATT BYRNE (drums)–are on the road with Shadows Fall, Six Feet Under and Death Threat for the trek, which began September 9 in Houston, TX and wraps up September 29 in Towson, MD.
HATEBREED‘s groundbreaking album PERSEVERANCE continues to build with worldwide sales of over 300,000 and building as the latest single “I Will Be Heard” is now reaching new audiences via its featured spot in the climactic Vin Diesel snowboarding scene in the box-office hit XXX and on the film’s soundtrack which reached #9 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart and #1 on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart.
Meanwhile, the band received rave reviews for their live set on Ozzfest, including this recent review in CMJ Weekly [July 26, 2002]:
“A total of 21 bands performed at Ozzfest’s Camden stop, but it was Connecticut’s metalcore heroes Hatebreed who nabbed the biggest crowd reaction of the entire day. The level of energy and excitement that surged through the venue during Hatebreed’s set was unmatched for the rest of the day. Obviously a result of his band’s endless tour schedule, vocalist Jamey Jasta has developed into one of the most inspirational frontmen in heavy music. Between songs, he worked the audience like a seasoned pro, asking them to form one giant swiriling mosh pit and to ‘make this a show you’ll never forget.’ The crowd responded with large, punishing pitsÉ.By the time its set was over, it was clear that Hatebreed should really be headlining on the main stage.”
