Hatebreed

Hatebreed is an American Hardcore Punk band originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut. The band was formed in November 1994 by Jamey Jasta, Dave Russo, Larry Dwyer and Chris Beattie. Influenced by thrash metal and punk, the band became one of the forerunners of American metalcore in the 2000s. The band began by recording a three-track demo, then a first EP titled Under The Knife on the independent label Smorgasbord Records in 1996; in the process the band recruited a second guitarist, Wayne Lozniak. This first EP went unnoticed; it was only with their first album, released in 1997, Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire, that Hatebreed got noticed.
