Hatebreed - When The Blade Drops (Track Review)

Release Date: February 14, 2020
Label: Nuclear Blast Records

It's safe to say that if you've heard one Hatebreed song, you've heard them all. I was never exactly a Hatebreed fan, mainly because I was never a fan of hardcore, and all their songs sound pretty much the same. However, I found their last album The Concrete Confessional to be quite good.

Metallica has gone through a lot in the last year, with the biggest thing being that to postpone their tour of Australia and New Zealand in October 2019, due to the fact that James Hetfield had to return to rehab for the first time since 2002. It came as a shock to all their peers and us fans.
