Hatebreed fans have waited six years for a new full-length record. That wait ends on November 6 when the band releases its ninth studio album, Fatal Paradox. The group has already shared three songs from the project to give listeners a preview of the sound.

The album contains 11 tracks. Chris Zeuss Harris produced the record. He has worked with the band on previous projects. The tracklist includes a cover of Corrosion of Conformity’s Poison Planet. It also features Obituary vocalist John Tardy on the song Sacrifice Season.

Hatebreed previously released the lead single Kill Count Increase in July. The title track Fatal Paradox followed later. The band just released the video for The Carrion Choir, which serves as the latest preview before the full album drops.

This release marks a new chapter for the Grammy-nominated group. The band has signed with the label BLKIIBLK. The album follows their 2020 release Weight of the False Self.

The band finished the Summer Slaughter Tour this past summer. They performed alongside Terror, Incantation, Gates To Hell, Torture, and Creeping Death. In November, Hatebreed will travel to Europe for a series of shows. Some dates will feature Life of Agony as a support act.
