Earlier this week, Hatebreed announced that longtime bassist Chris Beattie would be stepping down, with Matt Bachand (Shadows Fall) stepping in for the “foreseeable future.” At the time, no further details were provided.
Now, Beattie has broken his silence, revealing that he was removed from the band back in November—a decision he says was not his choice. After nearly 30 years with the group, he called the move “uncalled for” and hinted at future actions regarding the situation.
Beattie addressed the situation via Instagram, stating:
“I just want to take the time to let everyone know that I am doing just fine and I sincerely appreciate everyone who has reached out. I was under the impression a joint announcement would be agreed upon in advance, but since that was not the case I wanted to address your concerns in my own post. At this time I am unable to discuss the specifics surrounding my departure from Hatebreed on November 13, 2024. However, I want to clarify that the decision to leave the band was not mine and that my departure was uncalled for and based on misleading and wrongful statements that will be subject to future actions.”
As of now, Hatebreed has not responded publicly to Beattie’s statement.

This sucks. Chris is one the nicest down to earth guys from Hatebreed. Hopefully they work it out and stay friendly
Robert Bushaw he’s definitely the only one with genuine personality the rest of them couldn’t care less about anyone. That sucks that he was kicked out
Chris Curvin the rest of them???
Paul Gilley I’ve known them since they got their start in New England. And I’ve done several meet and greets and they are very superficial when it comes to those. Couldn’t care less even tho they seem like they do. Just my opinion dude 💯
Chris Curvin probably should just give your opinion on the one in question which I agree with you but lumping the rest of them together is Disingenuous are you also including the 2 that are gone when they “got there start”
Paul Gilley thanks for your insight. It is noted.
They s is bullshit 😡
Gary Johnson I love them but I kinda hope they do, Jamey is such a prick
Hope the band don’t fall apart
Well, maybe jamie wants more money to himself… seems like he’s taking the route of Megadeth & suicidal tendencies were the lead singer from both of those band is the sole owner and makes the most money paying out a small salary to hired guns
Nick Rooney I thought hatebreed was his solo project
Nick Rooney bingo
Nick Rooney Hatebreed has always been owned by Jamie Jasta.
Shame on y’all Jasta bring him back immediately
Jasta kicked this dude out over political views. Fuck hatebreed, the whole schtick of the band falls apart when you kick people out for sharing opinions.
Ryan Earle How do you know that?
Patrick Pasho don’t take my word for it, just wait
Ryan Earle Pretty strong accusation on a hunch.
Patrick Pasho as I just said, don’t take my word for it then. I’m not asking you to.
Ryan Earle i am against Trump but when it comes to heavy metal, we all are a big fucking wonderful family…how is this issue possible?
Ricardo Salgado Paz because everyone wants to make it political. The rest of the dudes have always been nice and humble when I’ve crossed paths with them. Jamey especially. More than likely this was something that was blown out of proportion
Edwin D. Benedict i have no idea what happened but i disagree with decisions based on our politics or religion or whatever beliefs we have.
Edwin D. Benedict hugs my brother and best of the best for you!
Ryan Earle and what were those political views?
GodOfBass is a wild handle for the bassist from Hatebreed.
Hatebreeds music is the fodder of maga spastics.
That’s a full smooth brain comment.
Jason Harward Trying to communicate on the level of a nation of smooth brains who are a global laughing stock. Looks like it worked too, Cletus.
Andrew Rourke you sound like the kind of guy that gets along well with your wife’s boyfriend.
Adam Rodgers You sound like the archetypal Yankee Doodle fuckwit. Slack jawed yokel. Bet you are amazing on the banjo?
Adam Rodgers he sucks his wife off the dudes cock!
Andrew Rourke bro, you live in fucking England! The home of the gayest dudes in the world! Sit down!
Andrew Rourke you’re an idiot. 😆

Another Amity affliction situation
I don’t think Hatebteed has been the same since Sean left the band!!!
Good luck to Chris. I’m sure he will tear it up somewhere soon.
Scott Miller agree. They tried to be a bit too ‘metal’ after that point. Fair play to them like, I get why. I just miss that gritty CTHC sound!!
Scott Miller truth. I think Sean is in Twitching Tongues now or was.
Richie Slusser yes I don’t know if he still is. I saw them a few years back and they were great!!
Nothing in the article states why he was kicked out.
Adam Corso be interesting to know the full reasons and not one sided reasons, but will we get that ?
Nigel Taylor I’ve seen political reasons, SA reasons, and Jasta wanting more money. So which is it?
Adam Corso there’s a quote from him – that’s all there is to go by for now. If the band makes a statement, it’ll get posted up and hopefully they provide the answers you’re looking for

10 to 1 it has to do with politics.
Dan White could you tell me how? Is he like trumpist or so?
The band is good. Fuck the singer. And the merch premadonnas
Hatebreed Shows will never be the same. Chris Beatties stage presents was huge!!!!
How do founding members and Co-founding members get kicked out of their own band?🤔🤔
Daniel Figueroa the answers up front and center. But its definite band politics.
Daniel Figueroa idk ask ozzy
Daniel Figueroa That’s what i asked…
Daniel Figueroa it’s Jasta’s band . Make no mistake about that .
Sometimes standing for what you believe means standing alone.
Brandon Mccormack a lesson lived is a lesson learned
Brandon Mccormack better two birds than the stone early 🤝
Brandon Mccormack another day, another vendetta
Dayna N Rob
Who cares
Travis Leach nice flex bro 🙄
That sucks. Chris was the heartbeat of that band
Danny Zink clearly not…
Hate breed has sucked since 2000
Should lose that monotone asswipe with a mic instead
Who owns the rights to their music?
It’s a business. Sometimes the people involved don’t necessarily even hate one another ( many times they do) it’s always a behind the scenes thing that leads to a business decision
Jamey grew long hair and a cheap beard so he thinks he’s tough now. 😂
Christopher McGuire Maybe he’d be really touch wearing a Korn shirt🤣
JJ has been a dick since day 1
Without him, ace and peter… they’re just a cover band
Rodrigo Lomba Jamie has always been the face of this band. I disagree. Now Pantera? You betcha
People still listen to this garbage band? I can’t believe they even care. I saw them too many times in the late 90’s because they seemed to be on every HC bill in some way and couldn’t not notice them. Just weren’t that special or memorable.
Dave Norton oh Dave. Obviously that isn’t true. Otherwise this post would t exist. Nice try though.
Dave Norton sounds like someone got their asses handed to them by someone from CT
Anthony Mc No, tell me you’re in your 30’s without telling me. I just thought they were nothing special. Still do. Maybe worry about diabetes instead and get your significant other involved in your training. Gonna lose a toe bro!
Dave Norton tell me you’re an old pussy without telling me
Anthony Mc Baby wanna lay in-between the folds of cellulite and make biscuits? 🤡

R Bradley Bass when are you going to war for the corrupt leader of Ukraine???
Brandon, as soon as you pull your head out of your ass.
R Bradley Bass that’s all you have to say . Says alot about you !!🤣🤣🤣
Haven’t been into them since Boulder left band.
Maybe Frank Cavanagh is available?
how can chris save me, when he can’t save himself?
Leprechaun wants all the gold.
He should take the Name !!!!!!!
