Hatebreed have officially set November 6, 2026 as the release date for their ninth studio album, ‘Fatal Paradox’.
The Connecticut metalcore veterans once again teamed with longtime producer Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Vision Of Disorder) for the effort, which will mark their first full-length release for BLKIIBLK.
The album spans eleven tracks and includes a guest appearance from Obituary vocalist John Tardy on “Sacrifice Season.” The record will also feature a cover of Corrosion Of Conformity’s 1984 track “Poison Planet.”
Leading the rollout is the album’s opening track, “Kill Count Increase,” which received its first airing on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal on July 20. The song is expected to receive its official online premiere on July 21, alongside the launch of album pre-orders.
Notably, ‘Fatal Paradox’ will be the band’s first studio album without founding bassist Chris Beattie, whose 2024 departure later became the subject of an ongoing legal dispute. Court filings connected to that matter identified Beattie as one of Hatebreed’s primary songwriters alongside frontman Jamey Jasta.
