Whenever someone played Hatebreed for me on trips to shows or at home, I tended to shift my attention to something else and play some other tunes in my head. I didn’t like a single thing about the band: stupid band name, stupid band logo, horrible artwork, they already only played big shows at the time and I didn’t care for the music at all. Fast forward a couple of decades. Some of the people of the band I play in performed a Hatebreed cover at one of our band practices with the help of a friend. I can’t put my finger on it, but for some reason I thought the song didn’t sound half bad and I decided to check out some of the Hatebreed material. I went further down that rabbit hole when I compiled a 90s hardcore playlist for a longer trip to a show and there I was, buying my first Hatebreed record 26 years after it came out. I’m not saying there’ll be more and it hasn’t be come a go-to record, but from time to time I can enjoy Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire.
