American metalcore band Hatebreed are knowingly without a label right now, as they parted ways with Nuclear Blast, which was their label for their latest album “Weight of the False Self” in 2020. For the band’s upcoming ninth studio album due in 2024 or 2025, Hatebreed is currently looking for a new label.
Hatebreed‘s vocalist Jamey Jasta talked about it in a recent interview with Bloodstock TV. Watch the whole interview below!
“…We’re actually free agents right now. So we’re talking to everybody, seeing what the options are. And I’ve been doing my own label… So people said, ‘Stop producing all these records and do your own damn record.’ It’s time, yeah.
I have songs, and I have lyrics, and I thought about who would produce this record. Obviously, we always love Zeuss and go with Zeuss, but we’re open. You know, we’re saying we’re, like, we’re open to everything, but we’re attached to nothing. So if Rick Rubin came out of the woodwork and said, ‘Hey, you wanna do something?’ people would say, ‘Well, that’s a pretty lofty goal.’ But it’s been done before — a little band from nowhere ends up getting a second wind in their career.
And we’ve seen it with so many great bands that — not that we even had too much of a valley on the last one, but it did come out during a worldwide pandemic. So it’s always peaks and valleys. And right now we’re just headed towards the next peak.”
