HATEBREED have released "The Carrion Choir", the fourth single from Fatal Paradox, their first studio album in six years, due November 6 via BLKIIBLK, the heavy metal imprint of Frontiers Label Group. The song arrives with an official video.
Where lead single "Kill Count Increase" leaned toward thrash and crossover, "The Carrion Choir" is billed as one of the album's pure hardcore moments, alongside "Truth Is A Lion". It sits second on the tracklist, right behind the opener.
The album was once again produced by Chris "Zeuss" Harris, a collaborator Jamey Jasta has called a sixth member of the band. "When you're chasing something timeless, memorable, and meaningful, having that level of trust and understanding makes all the difference," the frontman said. Before today's release, the band had already shared "Kill Count Increase", "Make The Demons Obey" and the title track.
Fatal Paradox has one guest: OBITUARY's John Tardy appears on "Sacrifice Season".
